Snip article...
There is nothing surprising here. It just goes to support that the core
of all successful diets is calorie deficit. An extremely low fat diet
would lower calories quite successfully, fat containing more calories
than carbs.
The point isn't what type of diet, it is the ability to sustain whatever
diet is chosen, along with the supply of sufficient nutrients to ensure
good health. I lost a lot of weight while eating large and satisfying
meals simply by choosing my foods carefully (lowering unecessary carbs
in my case, but not to ketonic levels) and increasing both the frequency
and degree of exercise in my life. Not just gym, but including
pleasurable pastimes that require exertion.
I see the real problem as being a very definite reluctance on the part
of the majority of overweight people to incorporate sufficient exercise.
They all want an *easy* weight loss program. Diets don't need to focus
on any particular calorie source, they just need to avoid excesses of
any particular calorie source, provide nutrients and incorporate regular
exercise.
It isn't difficult to determine how to lose weight, the difficulty is in
applying a particular choice.
