What an amazing find, as I am reading more about low carbing.

Obese children who were fed a low carb diet lost weight and improved
blood lipids. These children also ate 66% more calories than controls,
who ate "heart healthy" starches and whole grains. What a surprise.

Not at all. It's been known for some time that diets very low in fat make
you loose less weight than if you allow a bit of healthy fats. So I don't
find this is a very fair comparison. I also wonder about the long term
effects of the high-protein diet on cholesterol and liver functions.

I recently read that drinking grapefruit juice with every mail can make
you loose more weight, since the fibers it contain make you feel fuller
for longer. But hardly anybody is on a grapefruit diet... IMO too much is
bad, but so is too little. I'm still not convinced.
