Chicago cardiologist Dr. Kim Williams believes that vegan diets are best for weight loss and health. He follows a plant-based plan and has become a vocal advocate for going meat-free. But now that he's taking on a leadership role as president of the American College of Cardiology, some detractors say he's taking it too far, reported the Sioux City Journal on Aug. 29.
"Doctors who recommend a vegan diet are experimenting on their patients," criticized Dr. Jack Wolfson, an Arizona cardiologist who believes that the Paleo diet is the best approach. He praises the Paleo principles of unprocessed foods and emphasis on protein and healthy fats, which have been shown to facilitate weight loss.
