Blaming the "patient" is exactly what food industry and incompetent health "professionals" do. Give people bad diet advice, then blame them for being fat because they don't exercise more.

So current dietitians and doctors are to blame for something done decades ago?
Maybe you are confusing nutritionists and unlicensed "Dietitians" with licensed professionals. The former, I could claim to be a nutritionist with no training or certification, the latter, i could not. Unfortunately, the former are the ones who end up creating these "diets" and giving the advice, while the latter try and fix the issues made by the former.
Hell, the very 1st google result for ketogenic diet is an article written by the former. An unlicensed "Nutritionist" who has a worthless certification. At least he does have a degree in sports and nutrition science... As for the certification though, heres the requirements.
Mandatory Requirements
Current paying member of ISSN.
Must have the CISSN or SNS certification. (Note: exceptions will be made for active ISSN members who have advanced degrees). (Note: ANYONE can take this test)
Have attended one of the ISSN National Conferences in the past 3 years.
But go on, Id love to hear more.
