Flaws in the study:
1. Participants knew their food was being monitored by the studiers. (not a real-world condition). This may have discouraged them from overeating.
2. Participants had no menu selections - all food was prepared for them. (not a real-world condition).
3. Participants were already diabetic or pre-diabetic, so they were under additional pressure to lose weight.
4. Did participants have real-world access to junk food, or was it restricted artificially?
5. "Researchers say people at risk of diabetes need a diet they can stick with." Just so.
6. No comparison to an Atkins alternative.
7. No long-term follow-up (yet).
