Good find, rosie.....really shows how low carbing WITH exercise makes a big
impact on the results - losing more weight - greater fat loss with less
muscle loss.

My diet consists of about 25% protein, not quite as high as the study, but
I can attest to the fact that it helped to preserve my muscle mass while I
was losing weight. I've even been able to gain muscle while staying LC
once I started exercising later on. OTOH, I lost considerable muscle mass
when I followed a very low calorie, low protein diet several years ago.

Interesting article, but look who it's funded by; the "National
Cattlemen's Beef Association" are hardly going to advocate a low protein
diet are they?

I really really want to believe it - but the cynic in me says no. It has
some of the same feel to it as that "research" funded by (amongst
others) Tate & Lyle that (Surprise surprise) found sugar to be really
good for you.

I've found that the only way to decide whether to trust the conclusions
of a study is to ignore them. Read the data and methodology for
yourself, and figure out if they support the conclusions.

While I always feel it's important to understand the incentives of
researchers, at some point, someone must be doing respectable work.
Yeah, the cattlemen have produced this finding, but, it jibes with my
experience, so I find it a little more plausible than the Tate&Lyle
study or the General Mills Study that found that cereal keeps little
girls thin (of course, being a little girl doesn't jibe with my
experience, so who can say).

-Hollywood, M 32, hasn't been a little girl anytime in the last 32
years.
