Is There an Ideal Diet? Some Insights from the POUNDS Lost Study
Is There an Ideal Diet? Some Insights from the POUNDS Lost Study
Fascinating new study from the Pennington Biomedical research center comparing diets. TL: DR "The answer to the question of whether there is “an ideal diet” is clearly no." https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/14/2358 [Many interesting tables of composition of diets.] Quote:

As the least carbohydrate intake considered was 35%, I would say that they did not look at any low-carb diets.

My journal has the macro % for the original Banting Diet…it was only moderately Low Carb. More quite Low Fat (22%), High Protein 27%. With a goodly amount for alcohol for energy :lol: |
The macros analysis of the Banting diet are outlined in Table 1 of the study paper ..

This is NOT Mr. Banting's original diet as prescribed to him by Dr. William Harvey. This is a later, bastardized version of the Banting Diet, crafted by a Dr. Felix Niemeyer of Stuttgart, Germany to make it more acceptable to the medical establishment of the day, who refused to accept that a diet high in fat could possibly be healthy and dismissed Banting's (and Harvey's) work as "unscientific". William Banting's "Letter on Corpulence to the Public, 4th edition" can be read in full on our host site, lowcarb.ca .. here. This edition is prefaced by a letter from the author, describing the attacks and criticisms on himself and Dr. Harvey by the British (medical) Association, among others.Banting's own daily fare included bacon, mutton, beef ... poultry, game .. any fish. Pork, veal, salmon, eels, milk and butter were avoided, not because of fat content but because at the time, these foods were believed to be "farinaceous", ie starchy. In the preface letter, Banting describes his meats, viands and savoury pies accompanied by gravies and jellies (meat aspic) as concocted by his cook. While not "Atkins Induction" 20g carbs/d lowcarb, Banting's weight loss regimen was certainly much lower in carbs than his previous diet of bread, potatoes and beer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Barry Groves wrote a scholarly analysis of the Banting Diet, for which he was awarded the prestigious Sophie Coe prize by Oxford University in 2002.

Doreen, The Banting diet analysis by Dr Catherine Champagne was done in 1993, for the article in "Classics in Obesity" by Dr George Bray. He reviewed 10 Banting editions but used the third edition published in 1864. It was the one printed for a modest price and 63,000 copies were sold. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi....1993.tb00604.x. I didn’t know about Barry Groves later review, thank you for pointing to it.
This new two year study used four eating patterns, and similar in result to Christopher Gardner's one year LC vs LF DietFit Study. At the end of the largest and longest two-year trial on diet and weight loss, the researchers found that the members of each diet group lost a similar amount of weight, averaging about 6.6 to eight pounds. There will be individual differences, some will do better on LC than HC, some on VLC, but there is no "ideal" diet for everyone. These six nutrition and lifestyle tips can be added to any diet. "They ate more protein. People who significantly increased the amount of protein they ate lost much more weight than people who did not. By the end of the trial, the high-protein consumers had lost an average of 16.5 pounds – triple the amount that people in the lowest protein group lost. The reasons? Eating more protein is thermogenic. Our bodies spend a lot of calories digesting and absorbing protein compared with fat and carbs. Protein also increases satiety. When you increase your protein intake, you end up consuming less food, said George A. Bray, a co-author of the study and emeritus director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana." |
I didn't realize that Banting's diet had been altered so much over time.
Question - Am I reading something wrong here? Quote:
Surely they don't mean slimming/weight loss diets in general are high protein with restricted carbs. |
I can't believe they are STILL fighting it so much, and have been for so long.
