Low carb vs low fat for weight loss

This is as succinct an outline possible of over 40 studies (and a few meta-analyses) comparing low fat to low carb in some way with a weight loss outcome – even if that wasn’t the original purpose.

The usual nutrition study problems are in some papers – too short, too few, too loose, too weird – sometimes we just have to take what we can get, either way the journal links are there to investigate…

This is not a diet book.

Archevore Archive: There is No Such Thing as a Macronutrient Part I – Fats – Kurt G Harris MD

An article I often referred people to has sadly been swallowed up by the aether as the author’s website was pulled. I find it unfortunate that such a solid round-up has been lost to time, and so reproduce it here.

Science: Diabetes vs Low Carb / Keto Diets

As of 1920 the treatment of diabetes had been greatly improved, from basically starvation to avoid carbohydrate which is not tolerated, to a diet comprised mostly of fat. [Newburgh 1920] In addition to the previous high fat regime, sufficient protein and minimal carbohydrate are added to make the diet satisfying and sustainable over the long-term. [Newburgh 1921]

Since the late 1700’s the default…

In 1982 the American Heart Association released a rationalisation of their diet recommendations for lowering cholesterol and reducing incidences of coronary heart disease, replete with references to scientific studies to support their position.

The following is paraphrasing a 1984 document…

ABC Catalyst – Heart Of The Matter – Dr. Maryanne Demasi
