You're not looking. Again, I don't eat Whole30, but I swear by my (diabetic) life on low carb diets, as do MANY diabetics, as *should* all of them. Many doctors are coming around to this idea.

I'm not going to bother spending any more than a few seconds this time looking up information to dispute your ridiculous blanket claims, but it doesn't even take more than a second to prove that "a single real doctor" statement wrong:

I am currently the president of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, and a fellow of the Obesity Society and the Society of General Internal Medicine.

This guy is a huge proponent of low carb diets, google his name and one of the first results will be a youtube video with him explaining a ketogenic diet to a bunch of diabetics. The "president of the american society of bariatric physicians" is one of the biggest proponents of low carb diets in the world.
