Toward Las Vegas and the Obesity Symposium

It’s now time for my fourth trip over the Atlantic this year, chasing knowledge about diet and health. This time the destination is the autumn conference of the American obesity doctors. Speakers this year include dr Barry Sears, dr Mary Vernon, dr Steve Phinney, dr Eric Westman and professor Robert Lustig – all of them very positive to low carb.
In the last few years the topic of low carb has sneaked in, on a separate program at the end of the spring conference. But now it seems that low carb is on the main program, ready for prime time. There is hope yet for the big country of the west. And you can read (and see) my reports here.
It’s a bit sad to leave home with a seven weeks old daughter at home. Luckily Klara is a precocious child, having already learned to have video conversations via Skype (still with some help from mom though).
Hugs for little Miss Klara and her mom! She's smart like her parents! :-)
Will be interested to hear what they serve up for lunch after seeing what you were served at that prior obesity conference - unbelievable!
Am looking forward to your reports. If things start to move a little more 'over there' then it might be easier to persuade people elsewhere too ...
Dr. Uffe Ravenskov writes "to believe that eating fat makes you fat [in the context of diabetes] is as silly as to believe eating vegetables makes you green."
Best of luck!

I guess the climate on the conference have changed a little since The Stockholm conference !?
