Shame on Dr. Eric Westman
Dr. Westman is the director of the Lifestyle Medical Clinic at Duke University Medical Center. He is the President of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians. He is co-author of The New Atkins for a New You . He has published clinical research mostly treating diabetics on an Atkins Induction-style low carb diet. He knows obesity. He knows many obese people. He has treated some to great success. No doubt he has observed countless others that are not as successful. He has been on Jimmy Moore's low carb cruises, and most recently he has lent his name and reputation to highly questionable health claims and advice made by his former patient and friend in their books Cholesterol Clarity and Keto Clarity. One thing that I hope we can ALL agree on is that crazy crash diets are not a long term solution to the problem. In Keto Clarity Westman criticizes marketing schemes and diet book gimmicks (from pgs 115 and 177)
