Based on the doctors’ philosophies, there are two primary schools of thought. Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Jason Fung, and Dr. William Davis believe insulin resistance from sugar and refined carbohydrates is the root cause of these diseases, and they advocate for low-carb diets and intermittent fasting. In contrast, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Frita, The Cooking Doc® (Dr. Blake Shusterman), Dr. Ford Brewer, and Dr. Suneel Dhand do not restrict carbohydrates, instead focusing on low-fat, whole-food, or low-sodium diets and the timing of meals to improve overall metabolic health.
