While
he's a journalist by trade, his background is in science and engineering, the latter discipline famously being wildly over-represented in the crank spectrum; and I hate to break it to you, but I have yet to come across a more reliable indicator of hard-core crankery than bringing Galileo into the conversation.

Good call on the Galileo point
But don't let a nonce like me taint the lecture for you. He's not the only one advocating this kind of advice either.
I wouldn't post this here if I thought it was bollox. Like I said in the title, I'm having great success losing weight and I completely attribute that to reducing my carbohydrate intake.
Do you actually not believe the section on insulin controlling fat levels or what is your main problem with the lecture?
