Exactly. 1,000 kcal in butter, rice, nuts or whatever are always 1,000 kcal.

Healthy eating does NOT = weight-loss. A caloric deficit = weight-loss. And no, they aren’t the same thing.

Losing weight improves just about every metabolic function and biomarker from glycemic control to blood lipids.

So regardless of how you get there, losing weight will do your overall health wonders. But it really goes without saying, any weight-reducing diet should be ‘healthy’…

Don’t really care if you are Atkins/Dukan/Paleo/South Beach eating 200 grams of vegetables will leave your body in much better shape than 200 grams of wheat/rice/grains.

Thanks for catching that, Rani! I indeed misread it!

The 4 diets were either (P/C/F), 15/65/20, 25/55/20, 15,45,40 or 25/35/40. They were all at a 750 deficit (page 2, RHS column, first paragraph, last sentence).

“Between-diet differences remained nonsignificant at 2 y (P > 0.23).”

“In the dose-response test across amounts of carbohydrate, there was no linear trend across assigned carbohydrate amounts for fat or lean mass change at either time point (P > 0.48).”

Damn study, tell us something we don’t know!
