The Battle of the Diets: Is Anyone Winning (At Losing?)
22. November 2009
January 17, 2008 presentation by Christopher Gardner for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series. The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Christopher Gardner, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets using real-world conditions, which he discusses – the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top. Stanford University School of Medicine: med …

Genuinely impressive lecture

the case for soup and volumetrics was fascinating! People in eastern europe (i. e. Poland) eat soup every day. . . no wonder they are so thin!

The reasoning behind moving up the carb ladder are specious at best.

Of course. I’ve been on a controlled low- carb, high animal protein diet since 19 years. . Practically never sick, very little to no aggressive mood swings. Gained 19 lbs of muscle through weight lifting. You couldn’t pay me enough to get off my diet!

lol at the horrible editing at about 5:00
They show all the books and then about 3 seconds later they black them out. . . hahaha, whoever did that was pretty lazy!

Sounds a lot like loosing weight through self inflicted torture. I doubt such a diet can be upheld for very long nor that is very efficient as the body starts to gear down in case of starvation.

And not to mention reason for type 2 diabetes.

From my own experience substituting carbohydrates for fat is quite easy if you allow yourself to eat carbohydrates now and then.
My personal experience is that my mucus membranes got less infected resulting in ease of breath, I also didn’t get any extreme spikes in blood pressure after a meal.
And in my opinion it tastes a lot better, fat(specially animalian fats) are much more tasty than carbohydrates which tend to get quite bland. I got a whole lot of new culinary delights introduces to me.

Interesting that low carb is supposed to be very difficult to stick to but the Atkins retention rate is the highest.

Oh you’re right, sorry.
Seeing the word ketoacidocis and atkins diet in one paragraph triggers something in me

I think you misunderstood my comment. I am a supporter of the Atkins diet. Please try reading it again now that you have corrected the term for the state of the body using stored fat for energy. Replace “ketoacidocis” with “ketosis”.

They don’t lose any weight. Gary Taubes book ‘Good Calories, Bad Calories’ has a huge chapter on this.
Kommentar von mottdog2002 — 23. November 2009 @ 01:29
I tell you what. I did Atkins, I didn’t need to loose weight, I did it to help put my Heartburn under control and that it did. I am off Nexixum, and I am not even that Low Carb anymore. All the talk about Bad Breath, Constipation etc, It didn’t happen. I took suplements, Magnesium, Calcium and vitamins, ate a ton of Low Carb vegattables and greens and whole foods, eggs/fish/meat and I actually became regular without bloating. The time to go to the can was at 10 seconds, Go figure!

wow !

First of all ketoacidocis ist NOT part of the atkins diet, it is a complication involved in having diabetis.
The condition you go throug in Phase I of the Atkins diet is called ketosis, which is a normal and natural shift in metabolism your body goes throug either in carb restriction or in starvation ( in order to tap your body fat). It is neither unhealty nor unnatural.
It’s merely uncommon today since we are eating too many carbs which is the real reason for obesity.

Good study, well presented. I don’t understand the need to vilify saturated fats though. It’s not like he is referring to any studies of saturated fats vs. non saturated.
I guess he had to get a few licks in, after having his lifestyle blown away so significantly?
Kommentar von spuppy852 — 23. November 2009 @ 03:52
Let me get this right – this guy is a veggie, admitting that Atkins improves bloods? Duh?
Kommentar von bundleHastings — 23. November 2009 @ 04:36
I have searched the internet in vain to find stories about morbidly obese people who lost weight on a low calorie lowfat diet. Can anyone point me to any resources/proof please? I have not yet found a single person!
Kommentar von bundleHastings — 23. November 2009 @ 05:29
Stop. You’re going to make me resort to alcoholism, and I would hate being known for that “political position” or “ideology”.
Kommentar von mensameme1 — 23. November 2009 @ 05:30
He actually says that the people who took part in the study were told to follow the books to the letter, which they did not & the study reflects that. It makes it a much more realistic study as almost everyone will cheat on their diet. He does make that clear, maybe you missed that part.
Kommentar von thedrugthatkilled — 23. November 2009 @ 06:27
Love how he says he will follow the books to the letter and then modifies the Atkins diet! Even funnier when even having been ruined the Atkins diet still kicks the others ass! Too ban this guy has an agenda and at the end still tries to turn atkins into some sort or retard vegan nonsense! Vegetarianism is a political position not a health choice! Vegetarianism ends with “ism” like Communism, Capitalism, Fascism etc! How do you loose weight following an Ideology!

GREAT video.
Kommentar von dibeling — 23. November 2009 @ 07:32
As a vegan physician I share Dr Gardner’s dicomfort to learn that carbs are probably dietary enemy #1. My wake-up came after reading Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes. I was surprised to learn that this idea is an old one, with lots of pre-WWII science behind it, and post-war fat-heart disease histeria against it. Thanks for your honesty and willingness to follow the data.

It’s so unfortunate that people won’t know this truth.
Kommentar von sugarkang — 23. November 2009 @ 08:27
Great info! I lost half my body weight (over 150 lbs) when I stopped dieting. The long term effects of dieting is weight gain. Dieting was created for profit and population control. Good luck!
