Over more than six months I have lost 47 lbs while consuming about 2200-2400 calories per day. Sometimes more than that, seldom less.

The Low Fat claque simply cannot accept the reality of the metabolic advantage, nor of the patterns that develop over time as our bodies become efficient at burning fat rather than sugar for normal daily fuel.

But even better, longer term studies are in the works, and then more radical positions will have to be taken by the Low Fat gurus to maintain their market share.

What a country!
