Publisher's Summary
By now, the low-carb diet's refrain is a familiar one: "Bread is bad for you. Fat doesn't matter. Carbs are the real reason you can't lose weight."
The low-carb universe Dr. Atkins brought into being continues to expand. Low-carb diets, from South Beach to The Zone and beyond, are still the go-to method for weight loss for millions. These diets' marketing may differ, but they all share two crucial components: the condemnation of "carbs" and an emphasis on meat and fat for calories. Even the latest diet trend, the Paleo diet, is—despite its increased focus on some wholefoods—just another variation on the same carbohydrate fears.
In The Low-Carb Fraud, longtime leader in the nutritional science field T. Colin Campbell outlines where and how the low-carb proponents get it wrong: Where the belief came from that carbohydrates are bad and why it persists despite all the evidence to the contrary. The foods we misleadingly refer to as "carbs" aren't all created equal, and treating them that way has major consequences for our nutritional well-being.
If you're considering a low-carb diet, listen to this book first. It will change the way you think about what you eat—and how you should be eating to lose weight and optimize your health, now and for the long term.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fraud
I don't really see much fraud. Just common sense. Stick to complex carbs and it fine. There are issues with Keto as with any other diet. I eat what I want when I use my brain as well. The narration could have been better.

Short and useless set of strawman arguments
Nothing new, mostly straw man arguments, half of the book feels like a personal attack on Dr.Taubes (not sure about his name spelling, sorry)

Rather unsubstantial
This book is basically a response to Gary Taubes’ book Good Calories, Bad Calories. The book spends most of its time criticisms Gary and his book without really digging into the ‘meat’ of the books content or why Gary is wrong. It seems like the main criticisms are around Gary being a journalist and his book not being peer reviews. Although these are relevant points, they don’t seem to like sufficient points to therefore just play off everything that Gary brings up as false. Overall this books seemed petty and unsubstantial, but it was also free and short enough that it is worth listening to to get a sense of the back and forth within the nutritional sciences.

Outdated
Does not address the main problem of insulin resistance and fasting. Wants everyone to be vegans.
