weight, calories and reliable sources (was Re: newbie question on fat ratios)

[Guest guest]

We don't all agree that weight and calories should be kept " quite " low.

Perhaps " moderately " low is more like it. (See the file " Extreme vs.

Moderate CRON " ) And weight and calories should be modified slowly as

discussed in Walford's book. AFA the so-called " scientists " you mention

below --- be suspect of anyone and everyone. The net is full of quacks and

full of people who believe : " if it's on the internet, it must be true " .

That's why we only use peer-reviewed verifiable studies such as are on

Pubmed and other reliable sources.
