I think you will find that any culture that follows seasonal eating will be healthier. The relationship to food is healthier because they grew it and understand it's value. They respect and understand the power of sugar, using it for celebratory occasions.

NA culture takes almost everything for granted. You can stuff yourself full of anything, any time of the day here, regardless of the season.

Drastic imbalance requires drastic measures to create balance.

None of us was an "expert" when we started, but we came to understand through our own experience and the experience of others the realm of possibilities and what works. Because of our imbalance LC is more than a diet, it's a way of life. Some people have serious food addiction problems, and most realize that they are addicted to carbohydrates when they stop using them. Working any LC plan is simple in theory, but it's not easy.

On the front page, left hand column, there is a link to the synopsis of different LC plans.

How do you choose a plan? Lots of whole grains and fruit? White bread and candy? Lots of skim milk and granola? Processed foods? Ice cream and cake? Low fat dieting?

You can only get well again by swinging far to the other side and eliminating most of it. What made you fat in the first place?
