Doctors aren't taught much about nutrition.Medical doctors... weren't they telling us as recently as 15 years ago that the majority of our diet should be pasta and bread? Their advice is often outdated and ignorant.
I have psoriatic arthritis and met with 5 different doctors whose only solution was to prescribe expensive pharmaceuticals with horrible side effects. I had to do my own research to discover AIP diet and I've been symptom free ever since.
Doctors can't charge me or my insurance ridiculous amounts for a simple diet change though so why would they recommend that? Fuckers..

Is this broscience?
Is there actual evidence to support this?
Some months ago, Aberdeen university tested more or less all known diets known on lab rats and it turned out that the cause for fat gain is really just fat intake. It's that easy

Unsurprisingly, no one really cared about it and there was basically no coverage at all at the usual sites. The study was pretty top-notch, the only criticism about it was that it was done on rats, not humans (but we're not really at the point where we can put humans in a lab for years while torturing them with bullshit diets, or are we??).
It wasn't because fat was inherently lipogenic, but it triggered the reward centers of the brain so they ate more. In people, fats are satiating and its really the carbs that have this affect. We have better studies on people to look towards for these kinds of data.“Carbohydrates including up to 30% of calories coming from sugar had no effect. Combining sugar with fat had no more impact than fat alone. There was no evidence that low protein (down to 5%) stimulated greater intake, suggesting there is no protein target. These effects of dietary fat seemed to be because uniquely fat in the diet stimulated the reward centres in the brain, stimulating greater intake.

People lose weight on low carb not because there is anything magic about eating mainly fat and protein, but because they just tend to eat less because it's harder to get down 1000 kcal of steak vs soda. We'd see the opposite affect I imagine if the mouse study could be extended to apply directly to humans.
