I want to give this show a rating of "1", but I can't because it's entertaining for some reason.
BUT...almost everything they promote on this show has been completely disproved. Carbs/sugars are dangerous, but everything else they push on this show is wrong according to new research.
After a 30 year study (30 YEARS PEOPLE!!!!) has proved that there is simply NO correlation between saturated fats and heart disease (amongst other diseases), this show continues to stress how bad most fats are.
This show talks about cholesterol being a killer, but cholesterol is an extremely complex subject. And eating foods containing cholesterol don't necessarily increase your cholesterol. And even if it did, experts are now saying that cholesterol isn't an accurate measure of heart health at all.
Sodium is another interesting concept. For almost everyone, sodium is a non-issue. But this show is telling everyone to limit their sodium intake.
I see the chefs (who are cute, but don't know what they're talking about) exchange potatoes for low fat tortillas etc. That's just exchanging one poison for another one that may be even more toxic! It's not really the chefs fault. Even my personal registered dietitian is using completely outdated information to "help me" get through a complicated pregnancy. She hasn't read ANY of the new studies and new research coming out. It's almost criminal! I just humor her and tell her whatever she seems to want to hear so that my HMO doesn't label me "uncooperative" on my chart.
