Dr.Weil looks like the before picture in a bad diet product ad. He is clinically obese. Follow his advice which recommends eating a low protein, high carb, moderate fat diet and you too will look like him. His advice on Omega 3's is about the only wise idea in this book. And low glycemic carbs are certainly the way to go, but not as the center of your nutritional intake. Anyone who thinks the average person eats way too much protein has no idea about correct human nutrition.
