I can attest to both the efficacy of a low-carbohydrate diet and the odd skepticism and judgement that follows it. It's as if some people have so strongly internalized "conventional wisdom" that when their own eyes undermine it, they react to the resulting cognitive dissonance with hostility. The evidence against the past 40 years of official nutrition advice now appears to be overwhelming, but there's still an ugly part of our psychology that wants to punish people socially for dissenting from the opinions of credentialed experts. We're in a strange moment in history when it pays to basically do the opposite of what conventionally credentialed people say --- in a variety of areas.
