I’ve been a big fan of Dean Ornish since he published Eat More, Weigh Less in 1993. I believe, based on my research, that he is the first researcher (peer reviewed) to demonstrate the reversal of Heart Disease based on diet. A Low Fat, plant based diet. And, oh by the weigh [pun intended], you lose weight.
The best piece I’ve ever seen on Ornish vs. LCHF is an Ornish talk at TED at 8:20 in this video:
Dr. Dean Ornish: Healing and other natural wonders - YouTube
If you do nothing else, watch at 8:20 for 5 minutes. My belief is that if you take the 15 minutes to watch the video, you will end up doing a bit more research before pulling the LCHF diet trigger.
In a nutshell, he has demonstrated that a low fat, plant based diet will lead to weight loss AND an improvement in cardiovascular function, reduced cancer rates such as breast, colon and prostate cancer. All the top killers in the country.
Sure, you can lose weight on Atkins, but the health issues are not worth the risk for the weight loss. There are healthier ways to lose the weight.
10:40 talks about the dangers of the Atkins (LCHF) diets and demonstrates the impact on your heart. A peer reviewed study in Angiology demonstrated the heart issues associated with LCHF diet.
For all the data that we seem to use to manage our ability to retire early, I would think this crowd would be after peer reviewed data for LCHF to demonstrate the overall impact on your health, not just weight loss….
