I don't think zero carb offers much 'metabolic magic' when dieting for a show, or just for losing bodyfat.
Whatever you think about Palumbo's methods, it's not very science based (if that's the way you want to discuss the issue). Same with the Milos 'carbs are the holy grail' approach, on the other hand.
I only read a few posts on the 'carb war threads' but thought Blechman seemed well read.
