I also read this and this is why I asked for his credentials, not his personal opinion.

Actually, he was referring to MY comment asking him about being a diet/health expert.

Why has this thread become about me?
It's fine to question information(good actually). But what's the question?

Credentials fail all the time(Most Diet Authors have PhD's, but Diets don't work).

Other college-goers:

David Wolfe: "Chocolate's octave aligns with the Sun"
Gary Taubes: "Pears made me fat"(4 a day....=200 calories)
Dr. William Davis: Says the obesity epidemic is from Grain! (But China eats more grain than US)
Tim Noakes: "Food is toxic....I don't think you should eat very much

Most Dr's are overweight and have the same health problems unhealthy people have.

Someone said my no credentials explains a lot, but again no one is getting specific. I'm familiar with this pattern; it's "politics". Health circles are controlled by this public manipulation. Everything I said is scientific(Atkins diet is scientifically unhealthy, and proven to work only because of calorie restriction). People are taking shots at me, yet CAN'T dis-prove what I SAY. Interesting!

No one is taking 'shot's at you. You called yourself an expert and I asked you what (other than your own thinking) made you an expert. I'm still waiting for the answer. The dribble you posted above tells me nothing more than I already know...you're not an expert and you know squat about diet/health.

You go ahead and be your own personal cheerleader.

Wrong. It has nothing to do with calorie restriction, and everything to do with ketosis.
