In today's Health Matters, If you're trying to lose weight it may not matter if you go low-carb, low-fat or high protein long as you reduce your calorie intake.
Researchers randomly assigned several hundred overweight or obese people to one of four diets. Each was designed to eliminate seven hundred fifty calories a day.
After six months, and again at two years after the diets started. Researchers checked on people's weight, fat mass and lean mass.They found no difference in weight loss or fat reduction between the diets.

I saw this study. Completely bogus. You cannot say calories count when all subjects ate the same calories! There are numerous studies showing subjects on a low calorie starvation diet who cannot lose weight. Then other studies showing people eating well over 4000 calories and losing a lot of weight. They did not do a low carb diet! You can't lower carbs a little and then say you did a low carb comparison. You have to lower carbs to the level of a low carb diet. Sheesh, these guys are just trying to repeat the same old dogma that has been disproven so many times.
