This reminds me of how the Rice Diet worked. For 1/3 of the population, this high carb/low fat mix put their diabetes into remission. AND, for 1/3 of the population, it made their condition worse.

It's not wonder we've all had office mates who chirped helpful things like, "I realized I needed to lose TEN pounds! So I stopped eating dessert and took walks." And then stare at us.

In any of these studies, I have yet to see any acknowledgement of the wide variations of actual human physiology. Like many of us, I might eat a low-fat, plant-based diet for two weeks, but I can guarantee it would not help curb my appetite. In fact, depending on lectin content, I would likely spend those two weeks throwing up and feeling like death warmed over.

In that case, I would lose weight
