- And the low carb group still lost, if I recall correctly, 60% more than the low fat group - but somehow this is reported as not being "statistically significant"??

Also while the level of compliance in the low carb group was poor, the dropout rate in the low fat group was a lot higher (a common finding in nearly all of these studies) and I would suggest that is significant in itself and if Ludwig was in any way impartial he would say that "it’s increasingly difficult for people to follow the diet over time because of its severely restricted nature" would seem to be more applicable to the low fat diet than the low carb!
