Alton Brown 50lb weight loss since March--lowcarb?
I just watched Alton Brown (from Food Network "Good Eats", a cooking guru) on The View. I have never seen him so thin in years and years of watching his show--he says he has lost 50lbs. They of course asked him how he did it, and he was slightly evasive: "...scientific application of nutritional principles that I might write a book about." But he then went on to say that he ate a lot of sardines. "Eat sardines instead of cake." (I don't eat sardines--aren't they usually canned in oil?)
Then he went on to make an eggplant parmesan dish, but he made a point of cutting the eggplant into noodle shapes. He specifically said, "it's a zero carb noodle", but only after one of the hosts prompted him with a comment about it being low carb. Later on he said some things that could have gone either way, such as commenting that there was only a small amount of cream in the recipe. Maybe he was trying to cater to both schools of thought.
I hope he does write that book--I'm very interested to see what conclusions he has arrived at. I have a strong suspicion it's going to come down on the side of lowcarb.
