First Time I started To Seriously Put Low Carb Into Consideration

Some of you might have heard of this documentary.  It's written and produced by comedian and nutritionist Tom Naughton, who went under the assumption that his audience had working brains and discussed the obesity epidemic and what he felt was causing it: high carb, low fat diets that have been advocated by the government for years.

The movie is called "Fat Head."

The film was meant to be a response to Morgan Spurlock's "Supersize Me," but ended up being one of the big advocates for low carb diets in general.  The film didn't advocate any particular diet, but mentioned that a lot of what had been taught to us as "common sense" is wrong.

Naughton didn't advocate for going as far as Paleo in the film (although he would go in that direction after making the movie), just some common sense when choosing your diet and that human beings had functioning brains.

If you're going to start, i would suggest you start here.
