We are going though a revolutionary change in the way we look at nutrition. Gary Taubes book, "Good calories, Bad Calories," is a bore to read, but it gives an excellent rundown on nutrition advice over the centuries. The first published diet advice came out in the 1850s. Cut back on starches and sweets. It worked. Then, in the 1950s, Cardiologists discovered lipids and the importance of Cholesterol. Suddenly, we were switched to "no fats and foods with high cholesterol, eat healthy grains." And now we have rows and rows of weary people pumping away on exercise bikes while they chomp "health bars," and complain that they are always hungry but can't lose weight. Turns out the advice we are getting to "low fat" it is exactly wrong. We are all different enough that it works for some, but the majority of us on a high-carb diet don't lose weight, and we have had an explosion of type two diabetes and obesity. So the original advice to "cut starches and sweets" was right. I cut out all wheat, corn and refined sugar products. I am never hungry, and I average a pound a week loss.
