I think most doctors are either 'unaware' of LC research or afraid of malpractice lawsuits if they advice patients to go on a LC diet...

Thats why I hear some people say when they go to their doctor with significant weight loss, all the doctor says, "Do whatever your doing.." instead of.. "stick with the low carb..."

However, if you do provide evidence, such as research and your own significant weight loss with a much better lipid profile then it will definitely peek his/her curiousity and may research it seriously.
