[QUOTE="alienskin, post: 2149592, member: 508073"] Which is why it may be a good protocol for newly-diagnosed but not for longer or medium term. Well, that's precisely what the study seeks to find out by doing long term follow-ups. This issue is true for most weight-loss programs. Hence the need for properly supervised studies. If the study discovers that it works for a high percentage of recently diagnosed sufferers, but only half stick to the protocol then that is something that a doctor can communicate to a patient. i.e. this approach is not suitable for everyone, but may work for highly-motivated individuals. But this is true for any approach: not everything works for everyone, and the best way to discern is by properly conducted trials. [/QUOTE]
