Bullsh!
Put me on a bug protein diet and I will lose weight real fast.
Bkmk (and sent to text).
Was the study plagiarized from another university? Just wondering.
It depends on the context
Democrat Kiddie Raper diet...
“People who consume low-carb diets that emphasize plant-based proteins and healthy fats have a better chance of keeping excess weight gain at bay “
It’s not hard to keep pounds off when suffering from cancer, which is the case of most veges that I know.
But this is an interesting new tactic by the Left - rather than tell people that the weight loss and other health benefits that they got from Keto (meaning meat-heavy diet) is fake and discredited (as if their scales and blood tests are lying to them), instead admit low-carb works, but try to steer people into the yucky, unhealthy, low-carb food that will cause them to quit and go back to being fat, but not otherwise impacting the environment (which is the entire reason that traditional Keto will never be accepted by our masters).
When the low carb Atkins and other diets were shown by results of coworkers and relatives, I remember Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers and others storefronts closing down.
Haven’t followed the news. Did another diet show it worked?
By mere chance I once hit the wrong button on the remote and PBS was on, finishing the last hour or so of The Truth About Fat.
Part I saw showed the Biggest Loser weight loss people interviewed years later. All had regained the weight despite sticking to the diet and exercise and strict self denial. The body adjusted. Really depressing. I never went back to watch the whole show.
later
They all want Ozempic now. Not a bunch of fake or bunny food.
Do all veggie people look sick or is it just my view as a normal healthy adult?
People have been eating meats for thousands of years but they only started eating processed food for 50 years or so…I’ll stick to the tried and true. Meat with a side of meat and meat dessert.
How you eat makes a huge difference.
Gobbling your food and not chewing properly is not good
I did low carb and lost 25 pounds in 6 months.
LOTS of meat, cheese, eggs, butter.
Animal protein is superior, from my years of experience and research. Plant protein, typically soy trash, is loaded with endocrine disruptors, pushing girls into early menarche and giving boys moobs; and it's genetically modified an an astonishingly high level.
“Five LCD indices were examined: (1) a total LCD (TLCD) emphasizing overall lower
carbohydrate intake; (2) an animal-based LCD (ALCD) that emphasized animal-sourced protein and
fat; (3) a vegetable-based LCD (VLCD) that emphasized plant-sourced protein and fat; (4) a healthy
LCD (HLCD) emphasizing less refined carbohydrates, more plant protein, and healthy fat; and (5) an
unhealthy LCD (ULCD) emphasizing less healthful carbohydrates, more animal protein, and
unhealthy fat.”
Right there you have extreme bias: “an unhealthy LCD (ULCD) emphasizing less healthful carbohydrates, more animal protein, and unhealthy fat.”
Comparing participants in Q5 vs Q1 TLCD score at baseline, the median (IQR) energy percentages from carbohydrates were 40.4% (37.1% to 42.8%) vs 57.2% (55.0% to 60.3%) in NHS, 40.9% (38.0% to 42.9%) vs 58.6% (56.3% to 62.0%) in NHSII, and 38.3% (34.9% to 41.1%) vs 56.8% (54.1% to 60.5%) in HPFS.
Participants who were more adherent to an overall LCD at baseline were more likely to be current smokers, had lower physical activity levels, lower daily calorie intake, higher BMI, and were more likely to have a family history of diabetes (Table 1)”
Total Low Carb diet had a minimum consumption of 40% or more. As in their discussion of previous results, saying
“However, in the DIETFITS trial that compared healthy low-fat (48% carbohydrates) and healthy low-carbohydrate (30% carbohydrates) diets, there was no significant difference in weight change between groups.23 Similarly, a 2009 RCT by Sacks et al24 showed no significant differences in weight loss between diets with 35% and 65% carbohydrates”
HINT: 35-45% carbs is NOT LOW CARB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another example: “Consistently, the PREDIMED trial documented that a high-fat (41.2% fat, 40.4% carbohydrates), extra-virgin olive oil–supplemented Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, significantly reduced weight by 0.4 kg on average, compared to a low-fat diet (37.0% fat, 43.7% carbohydrates).”
If you are studying diets with 40-43% of calories coming from CARBS, you are NOT STUDYING LOW CARB.
We’re discussing differences in weight gains of TWO OUNCES over a FOUR YEAR period!
Harvard....proceed with extreme caution if at all.
1. Agenda-driven garbage. Consider the source.
2. Four years?? I’m sure all these self-reporters were TOTALLY honest about how well they kept the diet over 4 years!
3. I’m not sure a 40% carb diet counts as “low carb.”
Baloney! Decades old studies? Bah! The keto rage hasn’t been prevalent long enough to be in a decades old study. Plant based fats healthier than meat or dairy fat? I call nonsense! Just another bunch of greenies wanting to get rid of meat and dairy foods.
