The time course of weight loss is much less important."  Personally, I believe a starvation diet is not healthy.  I think the Newcastle diet or bariatric surgery is ok as a last resort, but I'd recommend that people try a LCHF diet first.  Why would I starve myself on 700 calories a day when I can lose weight on 2700 calories of healthy, nutritious food a day?  To me that's a no brainer.I read the article and I couldn't find where she says the diet she recommends has to be 82% fat.  She just says she eats 82% of her calories from fat. You'll have to fork out £4.99 to find out what she recommends.  She also microwaves eggs and there's no way I'm doing that, but I doubt either is required to follow her diet plan.  I'm at around 70-75% fat, about half of that from saturated fat.  Carbs are under 50 g, but usually around 30 g, and pretty much all from fresh, raw veg.  I am not sure what you consider an "uncontrolled environment" to be.  However, since I am single (i.e. no one to tell me what to eat and I do all my own shopping and cooking) and have no restrictions (food cost, availability, religious restrictions, food allergies or anything else I can think of) with regard to what I eat, I'd say I am in a completely uncontrolled environment.  I do fine.  Actually, better than fine.  I feel better than any time in my life.  I run 20 to 30 km a week and lift weights 5 times a week.  For the first time I can recall someone described me as "lean" the other day (that shocked me, actually).   I sleep better. My memory is better.  I don't feel hungry all the time.  I don't snack between meals. Someone at work said I look 5 years younger now than just a couple of months ago. That's how I'm doing in an uncontrolled environment on a LCHF diet.   I hope that answers your questions.</blockquote>
