Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Dennis: Good to see you back posting. Are you going to be updating us again with your data for weight and BF%? It would be great if you felt able to do so. ------------ I am not sure that one needs to have an accurate definition of high and low to draw conclusions from the apparent fact that in that study 50% protein and 15% protein made no difference to lifespan. Nor from the fact that a very low fat restricted diet tripled lifespan compared with ad-lib, while a much higher fat, also restricted, diet only doubled it. But if you are asking a question to which you would like an opinion in response .......... Low fat anything below 15%. High fat anything above 25%. The 50% protein they used in the study is clearly high, while on the low end my guess is the threshold below which readings would qualify as 'low' would be somewhere between 10% and 15%. Carb thresholds probably don't matter much since there is no essential need for them. They kind of drop out as the residual after the other parameters of the experiment have been decided. jmboeo. Disagreement welcome! Rodney. > What is " high " what is " low " in terms of protein and fats?
