I found the "Doctor" panel un-enthused.. perhaps it is "bad for business" to not plug as many pharmaceuticals. Very refreshing to see well placed philanthropy by Sami!

Re: Simon, "Very refreshing to see well placed philanthropy by Sami!"

However you want describe Sami Inkinen, the immediate word that comes to mind is not "philanthropic". The Virta service he heads up is mostly data collection from the client and the availability of incidental advice that costs the users $400 a month. That is almost $5,000 a year. The Virta hook is to get the insurance companies to pay for the service. (Which means the exorbitant cost is distributed to all of the other insurance company's customers.)

A LCHF diet is not rocket science. And as a low cost alternative, a person could track their numbers weekly on a spreadsheet for free and consult with their physician and/or nutritionist as needed if things got out of whack. And use that 5 Grand for other more productive health management purposes. Or simply keep it in their pockets.
