Of course lowering Calories will help with weight BS reduction but is it the most optimal approach - no? More and more people are using the term 'Calories' as if they are a food group with 'Carbs' relegated to the back of food packs. As fats have twice the calories of carbs reducing calories is indeterminant on which food groups will be reduced which is surely weak science. A low-carb diet is clear - you are reducing the carbs. As science has determined that carbs are turned to glucose in the stomach and these will be stored in excess the need to have some direct control on carbs to me is obvious. Fats are less readily stored as fat and hence don't need the same focus as carbs yet are on the front of food packs - to me that's madness. It worries me that the NHS and DUK are behind the 800 calorie diet. Where is the science that it is the best approach? I could say a lot about SACN/SCAN and PHE but many others have said it!</p></blockquote><p></p>
