You're probably aware of Colpo's challenge to Dr. Michael Eades and others that believe a metabolic advantage (greater fat loss) exists on a Ketogenic diet (low carb)...
Prove Me Wrong and I’ll Hand Over $20,000!
Show me published peer-reviewed metabolic ward research that compared isocaloric low- and high-carbohydrate diets and found statistically significant greater fat-derived weight losses among subjects following the low-carb diet.
Nobody's collected yet... mainly because these met ward studies have not shown an advantage of low carb over high carb in shedding fat. |
Doc, my disagreement is not what you think it is. I'm saying "Metabolic Advantage" hasn't been proven or disproven for me. I didn't mean to say I think there IS one, but that there COULD be one. I agree that for every article you show me saying there is none, I can show an article that there is one (with significance and peer review). I don't care to get into Colpo's and Eades's pissing match... my thesis paper is taking form and I am thinking it will be based on metabolic advantage. Interesting read from Fine and Feinman... let me post it here for you.
