Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery during 36 years.
"The typical advice we give to patients to avoid CVD is null or nonsense. As a surgeon, I have counselled patients with metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes as well as my friends, colleagues or sports partners since 1986. That year I discovered scientific articles on the paleo diet by French and American authors. Without cereals and sugars, the paleo diet is actually a very low carbohydrate diet, which provides an evolutionary explanation for type 2 diabetes. While difficult for some to maintain, properly counselled and educated patients can be very successful with their low carbohydrate diet."
