Hi,
I am a postgraduate student studying at the University of
Newcastle Upon Tyne. I am looking for:

a) individuals currently completing the Atkins Diet, particularly
those who have recently started


.....individauls currently completing the Atkins diet, but
particularly those who have recently started.....

What the hell does that mean? I would not trust any results from
this study.

b) NON DIETING controls, particularly individuals aged 30-40
c) low fat dieters.

to volunteer to complete my online study which aims to assess
the potential differences in wellbeing between those on low fat
and low carb diets as compared to controls. Completion of the
study will only take 15 minutes and you would be making a valuable
contribution to novel and important research.

The wed address is http://www.dietblues.co.uk

I hope you can help

I think they didn't post this to the low-carb forum for a reason.
I've
a feeling this little study wasn't intended to be unbiased.

We should all put in our two-cents worth and make sure the study
results are closer to reality. Do this survey everyone and be
heard.

I wouldn't trust it either. About 95% of the questions ask about
negative effects of low-carbing. It was posted to the
sci.med.nutrition group where there are a fairly large number of
low-carb detractors. I posted it here so that the pro-low-carbers get
a chance to get their two cents in.

Let's do the survey and see how they spin it. It'll be an interesting
exercise. And if we do not participate, I think the majority of the
respondents will be anti-low-carb. At least let's not make it easy for
them to get the answers they want.
