[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1664120, member: 196898"] The use of a LC diet as part of the protocol would have confounded the ND study and compromised the outcome, The ND diet was designed to be a very low calorie intake proof of concept study, and had to use a reduced version of a traditional weight loss diet, and was not out to prove the efficacy of LC at all. It would have invalidated their protocol. If you personally decide to do the ND diet as an LC variant, then there is nothing stopping you - I am sure it can be adapted. But if it works for you, then which element is the success due to? And what will it prove? ///the beauty of ND is its simplicity, and is one that anyone can do. It is also accepted by the nutritionalists and other HCP parties, whereas an LC diet or Keto diet would NOT be accceptable. As I said earlier, it is possible to use both diets in tandem and both are useful tools to have in a war chest. Trying to combine the two is probably counterproductive. [/QUOTE]
