Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi All, See Atkins Attack below. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,109890,00.html lead author J. of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is even more dismaying. He told Reuters that the study subjects ate " around 2,500 calories per day, " thereby implying that the only difference in their diets was the amount of carbohydrates. That's just plain misleading. Control group subjects averaged 2,825 calories per day during the 12- week study; high-carbohydrate group subjects averaged 2250 calories per day and high-carbohydrate-plus-exercise subjects averaged 2,413 calories.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi Al: In that study all three groups ate as much as they wanted, here is the direct cut-and-paste: " Study subjects were provided with foods constituting 150 percent of their required daily caloric intake and instructed to eat as much as they wanted. Carbohydrates constituted 45 percent of the control groups' calories and about 62 percent for the high-carbohydrate groups. " The carbohydrates provided more satiety, evidently, than the high fat diet provided. So Milloy is wrong (again). The conclusions of the study seem appropriate to me.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I eat a high carbo diet and I think you have to temper that report with the fact I get hungry without adequate protein. Maybe it's more about pro than fat or carbo?
