Lower carb, higher fat diets aren't really new or a fad (the original "Atkins Diet" came out 40 years ago). Current studies are showing that it's a very healthy way to eat if processed foods are avoided. What I am wary of is people who jump onto any particular bandwagon with their own "special" version, giving it their own personal little "twist", most likely in the hopes of making a bunch of money.
But thanks for the freebie alert, anyway!
