"The first 2 weeks consist of a weight stabilization period, during
which subjects will be required to eat an average American
diet. This is followed by the 6 week weight loss period where
subjects will be put on a low calorie, low-carbohydrate-high
fat/protein diet. During the weight loss period, calories will be
cut by 50% compared to the weight stabilization period. This will be
followed by a 2 week weight maintenance period during which calories
will be added to the diet to maintain the new weight. Appropriate
adjustments will be made to keep the subject's weight stable."

Why "low calorie"? Seems to me, if it succeeds, that'll just allow
people to give the credit to the low-calorie part instead of the
low-carb part.
