>1) they send you to a Registered Dietician who shows you a modernized food pyramid based heavily on grains. Minimize animal fats, replacing with seed oils. 70% calories as carbohydrate.

Crazy, that's what I would recommend if you want to become obese.

>2) MD flat tells you "you MUST eat 6 small meals a day so you never get hungry."

I guess that MD really wants his patients to become insulin resistant and eventually develop diabetes.
