A friend forwarded this to me. I thought it was interesting, and thoughtful to see studies being quoted to debunk different philosophies on nutrition. It is not WLS-specific. I am assuming that the articles quoted here debunk conventional wisdom, and I do wonder how many OTHER articles support that conventional wisdom are not listed here. But, take it as additional perspective and data points and perhaps speaking points for your next conversation with your dietician.

Preaching to the choir here - I hope surgeons and their RD's/NUTS take this on board one day ... It pains me to see them still recommending white carbs early out (instead of protein) and fat free or low fat diets!!!!!

Would you consider Xposting this on the surgery forums?

Yeah, I shudder every time someone mentions eating mashed potatoes and crackers early out.
