The problem is that Dr. Kruse is a doctor, but he posts a lot of comments and stuff that are less than rigorous. I think when you have that credential burden, you have to be careful what you say. I recommended his blog to my roommates in NYC who were having a lot of trouble with paleo and I think they really benefitted from his Leptin RX, particularly the high protein breakfast. I guess my beef with him is he is so focused on a certain type of sick person that he, like many other low-carb doctors, thinks his prescriptions (like keto) are optimal for everyone and his view of human evolution is shaped by this. There is the second type of sick person, of which there are many on PH, which is the tend to be-underweight malnourished often kind of high-strung sort. That's what I am, and that's what a lot of other people I know are. Keto can help some of these people, but it can make others worse.
Edit: Quilt seems to think I have it in for him. Why would I recommend the Leptin RX to certain people (people I CARE about) then?? I think the Leptin RX can help a lot of people. It is mainly his random comments on the internet I have argued about, particularly on the safe starch debate and on evolutionary biology.
