I'm aware that gluten-free is not a fad for those with Celiac disease and is actually a necessity. However, Miss Y didn't say she was suffering from Celiac's disease, so I didn't think I would have to clarify that.

And I would even agree with you, low carb is sustainable, although I don't think its necessary to cut out "brown things" like whole grains and oats.

Whole grains still cause cravings in people with carb sensitivity, cause blood glucose spikes in diabetics and pre-diabetics, and cause weight gain in people with insulin resistance, which is estimated at 35% of the population. It's probably higher since most people have insulin resistance a long time before they ever get medically tested.
I think that anybody that wants to lose weight would do well to drop all grains from their diet, and then add them back as they reach closer to maintenance weight levels. Then, by adding in only one new food at a time, you can check to see if you have a sensitivity to them and would just be better off eating not eating them.
But then again, this is all based in current science, and since most registered dieticians haven't read up on current science, we can't expect mongers to be aware of it either.
