Low-carb dieters eat more calories and still lose weight
Low-carb dieters eat more calories and still lose weight
Calories mean squat. Check out this story: http://www.canada.com/health/story.h...5-8AF12FB81285 quote: "The dietary establishment has long argued it's impossible, but a new study offers intriguing evidence for the idea that people on low-carbohydrate diets can actually eat more than folks on standard lowfat plans and still lose weight." Now, if this is correct then it completely throws the calorie theory out the window, doesn't it? TC |

No it does not. Read the statement. It just says that people who eat more on a LC diet can eat more than folks on a standard diet and still lose weight. That in no way implies that the calorie theory is out the window -- though some refinement may be necessary. Also, from what I read, I see no evidence that they normalized out water weight loss. |

And why they would develop a study where they didn't do body fat testing before and after is beyond me. -- Bob M in CT Remove 'x.' to reply |

Right....of course, we don't really know what they did....without the benefit of peer-review and publishing, this should not even be reported, imo. |
