Low-fat diet no good for long-term weight loss, study says

[Bill O'Meally]

As we all already knew:
"The only time the low-fat diet was useful was when it was compared to
no diet. Low-carb wins out over a low-fat diet...."

The sad part of the whole diet thing is that long term success
is poor on any diet. I agree LC makes it easier and I think gives
you higher odds of being successful, but even with LC, most people
just fall back to their old ways.

I think it helps if one stops thinking about being "on a diet", and
simply decides "this is how I'm going to eat from now on".

OK, then the long term success of all of the "this is how I'm going to
eat from now on plans" is poor.

It sure doesn't help that low carbers in particular face not just sabotage but often bitter opposition. Just because we don't eat low fat we're targets.

I have never experienced that on a personal level at all.

Since low carbers haven't been included in he weight loiss registrly, we
really don't know for sure.

I can only report my own journey; increasingly low carb, tightly
controlling diabetes without meds since 1998, after reversing diabetic
kidney and nerve damage along with dyslipidemia and labile hypertension
immediately upon switching from high carb.

Low fat causes hyperinsulinemia.
