Example of a terrible diet study
http://rdfeinman.wordpress.com/2011...-after-2-years/
By including the data of the massive number of people who dropped out of the study, the author shows that the two diets (low carb and low fat) are virtually the same!
*shakes head in amazement*
Quote:
“Of the 307 participants enrolled in the study, not one had their food intake recorded or analyzed by investigators. The authors did not monitor, chronicle or report any of the subjects’ diets. No meals were administered by the authors; no meals were eaten in front of investigators. There were no self-reports, no questionnaires.
The lead authors, Gary Foster and James Hill, explained in separate e-mails that self-reported data are unreliable and therefore they didn’t collect or analyze any.”
...
How can you say “neither dietary fat nor carbohydrate intake influenced weight loss” if you haven’t measured fat or carbohydrate?
