The Pope and the Prime Minister Go Low Carb
A lot of smart people seem to be cutting down on the carbs these days. After gaining some weight Pope Francis has apparently been told by his doctors to cut back on pasta:

He then joins British Prime Minister who recently said he’s giving up bread in a “great patriotic struggle” with his weight.
Do you know anyone else who might benefit from a low-carb diet? Feel free to tell them about our just updated (free) beginner’s guide to LCHF.

How to Lose Weight

It is hard to preach for fortitude and temperance, or against gluttony with too much girth.
At least he is being given the advice to cut the carb addiction. Before I went LCHF, I tried doing harsh dieting - I think the flagellants suffered less - but didn't lose much weight for all the suffering, and even that came back. Then I went LCHF. Aside from a bit of carb flu (I didn't know to do bullion or other salt during the switch into ketosis), there was no suffering. In fact, while my fat was burning, I had none, but had to eat some small meals so I would get protein and the other nutrients.
Gluttony is a deadly sin, but the problem is mostly that the foods we are "recommended" (maybe the devil IS in the details) are addictive and fattening.
"Director Gordon Polson said: 'To David Cameron, and anyone else who is cutting bread from their diet this January in the hope of losing weight, we urge them not to act so fast.
'Cutting bread from the diet could lead to compromising other essential nutrient intakes, such as fiber, calcium, protein and magnesium.
'For those keeping fit, such as David Cameron who is a keen runner, starchy foods such as bread are crucial for keeping energy levels up.
'Not to mention bread is packed full of dietary fiber, keeping you fuller for longer, which could help Mr Cameron resist the temptation of reaching for that mid-afternoon snack or nibbling between meals.'"
I use to be unable to avoid snacking too, and eating even whole grain sprouted bread didn't keep me full longer.
Today a client called with a long story of woe that included RA, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, she broke her leg and had a tear in the knee meniscus that are not healing. Oh, and she has IBS as well. She called me for non-health related advice (something it turned out I could not help her with anyway except to give her a referral) but all I wanted to do is say "Lady, you need to overhaul your DIET if you want to get out of this terrible situation you are in!" Of course I did not. But it's very frustrating not to be able to say that!
Meanwhile, a relative is having complications from CHEMOTHERAPY she is trying to improve her fibromyalgia. But she will not try simple dietary intervention because "it's too hard." Why is that too hard, but spending 6 hours in the ER to have her bladder catheterized because the edema from chemo caused her urethra to swell is not hard???
And my very best friend in the entire world, who has had years of chemo to treat her Lupus, now has developed melanoma, and she has NO immune system left to fight it. I'm devastated.
How is it that the medical profession can load people with toxic chemicals that destroy one system to treat another before they even suggest trying a dietary change??? If nothing else it's an absolute failure to give informed consent!
He had a history of alcoholism and depression, and followed a raw vegan diet after undergoing heart surgery. He then got Parkinson's and his depression worsened, up to the point where he took his own life.
As we know, LCHF/Keto works against depression, Parkinson's, and even cardiovascular disease. Whereas raw vegan does not seem to work in the long run.
Bakers are probably afraid of their business if people start to follow Cameron diet.
