For example, the investigators reported that those on the "low-fat" diet consumed 200 fewer calories per day—or 10,000 fewer calories per year—than those on the Mediterranean diet, yet people lost more weight on the Mediterranean diet. That's physiologically impossible.</I><BR/><BR/>Wow. Instead of changing his mind to fit the data, he declares the data "impossible."GreatnessBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364374417904851444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-80249748338692818662008-07-17T09:47:00.000-05:002008-07-17T09:47:00.000-05:00The Ornish commentary was rather humorous.

He didn't like the study because of the Arkins funding, but then touted all the studies that he funded as being unbiased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-9959678076866958622008-07-17T09:08:00.000-05:002008-07-17T09:08:00.000-05:00The Never-Ending Diet Wars: Why Atkins Still Doesn...The Never-Ending Diet Wars: Why Atkins Still Doesn't Beat Low-Fat Diet<BR/><BR/><BR/>"An optimal diet is one that is low in fat (because fat, whatever the type, has<BR/>9 calories per gram versus only 4 calories per gram for protein and<BR/>carbohydrates). When you eat less fat, you consume fewer calories without<BR/>having to eat less food, because the food is less dense in calories, as well as<BR/>low in refined carbohydrates."<BR/><BR/><B>Why did Newsweek even allow that to be published? It wasn't even a look at the study and its findings, but one long promotion for Ornish, his theories and his book!</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
