I saw the show as well and thought - for the most part - it presented a good overview of the low-carb lifestyle and successes people have experienced. I found it odd, however, that a show designed to somewhat promote the lifestyle (Stella will have a low-carb series beginning in April on Food Network) would feature several negative interviews which weren't well refuted!

It's not that the opposing point of view was presented - it should have been - but where were the nutritionists/doctors who support a low-carb diet??? The one gentleman they featured (his name escapes me) presented a pretty good "gloom-and-doom" scenario for those cutting their carbs. I kept waiting for someone to say "while some people think a low-carb diet is unhealthy, it's actually not, and here's why..."

Unfortunately, it never came...
