Message: <blockquote data-quote="jopar" data-source="post: 289446" data-attributes="member: 11712">Problem Xyzzy, is your synopsis is that you’ll using data that doesn’t exist!  Data on fat consumption wasn’t considered, so no data concerning consumption was collected or it used in any of the calculations…  You’ve made an assumption that participates all followed a low fat dietary advice, so only either reduced and/or increased their protein or carb content of their diet!  Bit like me making an assumption that if somebody has increased their protein intake, and lowered their carb intake, they also increased their fat intake in compliance to the normal method of VLC diets!  And coming to a conclusion that Atkins style diets are unhealthy long term!Which I am sure that you would be the first to inform me that I couldn’t make such assumptions!Reading the information seems to suggest that a balance between various aspects of our food groups is important to long term health…  Would have been interesting to see if adding in fat consumption if and what sort of impact it made on the outcome!If you look at Atkins and Bernstein’s diets, very similar but with slight differences in them, both restrict complex carbs, subtle differences here though, as Atkins uses two levels, an induction amount of 30g’s, then this increases whereas Bernstein sticks to 30g’s throughout, other differences between their diets, is Atkins gives free reign on the actually amount of protein consumed…  Again Bernstein actually restricts the amount of protein, in fact he restricts total consumption of all the main food sources… A side note here, Atkins diet was revamped by it new company owners, and complex carbs after induction was increased and encouragement of eating this in grains source!  Slot these two diets into this study, could it be said that Bernstein does recognise a need to have balance between the food groups, and Atkins didn’t…  Could it suggest that the combination of high Fat/High Proteins is as derogatory to our long term health as the combination of High Fats/High carbs foods!</blockquote>
