Quoted message said:Atkins Missing in Action
The most formal study of lasting weight loss, though, is the highly
respected National Weight Control Registry, funded by the National
Institutes of Health.
Their questionaires didn't ask any questions about low carb the last
time I checked. A person who loses on low carb and keeps it off
on low carby is completely excluded from their survey. Their survey
has zero validity when applied to low carb as a result of their
elimination of low carb data.
Quoted message said:"Almost nobody's on a low carbohydrate diet."240
Correctoin: "Our questions excluded anyone on a low carb diet
so very few made it past that filter."
Quoted message said:five times as many carbs as Atkins proscribed in the "weight
loss" phase of his diet.241
There is no specific amount of carbs when you follow the Atkins
process. Are these people who won't read or people who can't
read?
Quoted message said:Maybe for some reason only dieters eating lots of carbohydrates
hear about the Registry? No, the National Weight Control Registry
has been plugged in Dr. Atkins' own book for years and is
promoted on the official Atkins website.244
So when will the Registry start to ask questions that stop filtering
out At-kids from answering their surveys?
Quoted message said:whereas the Registry demands proof.245
Whereas the Registry demands that only low fatters can even answer
their questions.
