" Flawed Research -- Examining the National Weight Control Registry to determine effectiveness of a diet -- give me a break.... BJ I'd be willing to bet money that one could find more than 27 people right here in this newsgroup who have maintained a 30-pound weight loss for a year or more. Also, 24% calories from carbs might be considered a low-carb by those in maintainence since the standard recommendations are typically over 50%. The nonsense will never cease. |
