27. Nope. I'm not.

Low-fat diets were also not a diet that people failed at and stop two weeks later. It lasted for 40 years as "the right way to eat healthy". It was even backed up by all sorts of studies as beneficial.

You now have a new "the right way to eat healthy". It's even backed up by all sorts of studies as beneficial.

Let's look at what people really do: A poster up-thread cut out their "3+ 20oz soda a day" habit. That's about 900 calories a day. Assuming a 'normal' person needs something like 2000-2500 calories a day, you're talking about someone who regularly consumed half of their needed calories as soda. I really doubt they only ate 1100-1600 calories from food.

Yet they claim it was the "low carb" that resulted in weight loss - ignoring that they didn't just change the balance of their diet, they greatly reduced the total calories consumed per day.
