Default Low-carb and Mediterranean diets beat low-fat for weight-loss, lipid changes at two years

I know this is heresy but I think the best thing to come out of this study
is the positive publicity it is generating for low carb. I'm so tired of
people trashing eggs, meat with any fat and butter saying they have to watch
their cholesterol. And if the LCers were indeed at maintenance levels, it
shows that you don't have to be doing induction, which most people seem to
think is what LC is, to obtain many of the benefits.

We shouldn't be surprised that a study whose results we like has its flaws,
that has certainly been true of the studies that had results we didn't like.
There are so many variables and such difficulty in controlling the behavior
of the subjects, that no dietary study done on humans will be perfect.

That sure isn't what I heard on the TV reports. Nor did I read it in the
things posted here? It said that LC was the best in improving lipids. No
one mentioned types of fats or 40% carbs, perhaps that's the Mediterranean
diet.

Where did you see such articles, I haven't seen any? You do have to realize
that the people who have been creating low fat "Heart Smart" recipes for
years are going to have to take baby steps in changing their advice. Even
if the best study in the world came out they would refuse to do a complete
about face. I guess I see any progress toward them accepting LC as a good
thing.
