Right on - a lot of people see weight loss on low carb diets because they're effectively reducing processed food intake. Humans are easily held back from reaching their health goals when eating white bread, chips, white rice, pizza, and other carb-heavy junk food with low nutritional density.

These kinds of diets are fine for quick weight loss, but not sustainable in the long-term. Eliminating your micronutrient intake by cutting out fruits and vegetables from your diet can have serious health effects down the road, if you do this for more than a few weeks or months.

[Fruits] have tons of fructose (carbs alert!) which increase your blood sugar level.

This is actually a really popular misconception. The effects of eating fructose-rich fruit are simply not the same as eating processed foods with refined sugars, given the rich anti-oxidants and fiber found in the former.

If you're interested in managing your blood sugar level, you should eat incredible amounts of fruits, while reducing your fat intake. We've been working with a nutritionist that helps diabetics increase their insulin sensitivity through plant-based, whole food, low fat diets. I highly recommend you check out these materials, which still apply to the physiology of non-diabetics: Top 3 Diabetes Myths, Busted: Fruit, Starchy Vegetables, and Blood Glucose

Very cool, whats your take on his claim?

I like that quote a lot, great reminder

Very cool documentary - easy for consumers to be isolated from the entire creation process that brings life to hardware products. Very eye opening to see the behind the scenes environment that makes it happen!
