Maybe that is true, but that's not what the book says. It pretty much
said that the winners' strategy, in their words, is to drop as much
sugar and as much fat as possible.

Yes, that was the traditionnal way of doing diets in the old days... That's
actually what many generalists still advice nowadays in France. Drop sugars
and fats, then each doctor adds his peculiar obsession (drop pasta, drop red
meat, drop coffee, add vegetables, eat more breakfast...) to that framework.
Though the summary seems to point to the fact that the diet itself was not
really the important factor in the success or not of these dieters.
