I posted this to the cycling forum I am on...and thought it should be posted here too:

Well, its happening...what I warned months ago to those on an IBS support group online that I belong to.
The low carb diet craze is taking over, to the point where some manufacturers who previously made low fat, high carb products are switching to high fat, low carb. So what are people like me (cyclists who need high carb intake) and who suffer from IBS (a medical condition requiring low fat, high carb foods) going to do?? For years, as an IBS sufferer, I was able to ride on the coattails of the dieters low fat philosophy...but I can't anymore.
Irma Zandl of Zandl Group trend consultancies, says in TIME (Aug 19 2003) that the low carb fad/craze should peak in about 18 months (which is the same thing my personal trainer said to me)...I certainly hope it does and so we can be rid of it!
