Debunks the "metabolic advantage" nonsense put forth by the likes of Atkins and Eades that claim it's possible to gain weight on a high-carbohydrate diet but lose weight on a low-carbohydrate diet even when the 2 diets contain the exact same number of calories. |
Sorry Doc, I don't agree with these statements. There are plenty of studies out there that prove Ketogenic diets do result in a greater loss of fat, its just all the negatives that go along with it that aren't worth the diet. Also they have linked that the ketogenic diets go hand in hand with a HIGH PROTEIN diet which leads to the increased rate of weight-loss (protein turnover). I do not advocate these types of diets either... but there is def a metabolic advantage to them, but protein can be paired with good carbohydrates and have the same effect (which is what Atkins and Eades claim to be untrue).
