If he has to follow someone, he could do worst than Dr. Atkins.

He is the starting point for all of the modern low carb movement. To
say that any book author since is not an Atkins acolyte is unrealistic.
Without Atkins there is no low carb movement. Saying some low carb book
author is not a low carb acolyte is like saying a sailor is not aware of
the ocean.

Just to check - Are the reviews incorrect when they say Dr Davis's book
"Wheat Belly" focuses on wheat as the primary cause of the modern
obesity epidemic? That's something that has been true since the
invention of modern milling that separates the bran, endosperm and germ.

Degree of refinement matters.
