The Battle of the Diets: Is Anyone Winning (At Losing?)
January 17, 2008 presentation by Christopher Gardner for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series.
The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Christopher Gardner, PhD, istant professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets using real-world conditions, which he discusses - the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top.

Stop. You’re going …
Stop. You’re going to make me resort to alcoholism, and I would hate being known for that “political position” or “ideology”.

He actually says …
He actually says that the people who took part in the study were told to follow the books to the letter, which they did not & the study reflects that. It makes it a much more realistic study as almost everyone will cheat on their diet. He does make that clear, maybe you missed that part.

Love how he says he …
Love how he says he will follow the books to the letter and then modifies the Atkins diet! Even funnier when even having been ruined the Atkins diet still kicks the others ! Too ban this guy has an agenda and at the end still tries to turn atkins into some sort or retard vegan nonsense! Vegetarianism is a political position not a health choice! Vegetarianism ends with “ism” like Communism, Capitalism, Fascism etc! How do you loose weight following an Ideology!

As a vegan …
As a vegan physician I share Dr Gardner’s dicomfort to learn that carbs are probably dietary enemy #1. My wake-up came after reading Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes. I was surprised to learn that this idea is an old one, with lots of pre-WWII science behind it, and post-war fat-heart disease histeria against it. Thanks for your honesty and willingness to follow the data.

Great info! I lost …
Great info! I lost half my body weight (over 150 lbs) when I stopped dieting. The long term effects of dieting is weight gain. Dieting was created for profit and population control. Good luck!

As for low-carb …
As for low-carb dieters failing to maintain the initial carb intake, they aren’t supposed to if on Atkins specifically. Induction is a rather extreme restriction of carbs and is meant to last for *at least* two weeks. Atkins says it’s ok to extend beyond that if you think you can. At some point, ALL Atkins dieters are supposed to increase their carbs to a level that simply allows them to maintain, rather than loose, weight.

I wish you would …
I wish you would have talked more about lipolysis and ketoacidocis. They are a necessary component to the Atkins Diet but many people are not aware or do not understand them. I have lost 14% of my weight over the past 5 months on
Atkins and suffered with obesity for over 12 years. Also, if you do not get enough calories in your diet, you will go into starvation mode and your body will hold onto its stored fat for dear life! I wish you would have talked about its influence on your study. TY
