If the advice is to eat lower on the food chain - more simple whole foods - instead of highly processed foods and sugary snacks, it seems like good advice. At least it has been in everyone I know who does so. On the other hand if it is an indictment of simple carbohydrates like potatoes, I'd say it's too simplistic. One guy ate nothing but potatoes for two months; his health improved and he lost weight[1]. If it's just simple carbohydrates are bad that shouldn't have happened.
