So many are so sure about something that is much less than sure. One highly motivated professor who manages to lose weight on a Twinkie diet in no way proves anything.
Personally, I do not care what people think or what they do. It would be nice if more people were healthy and we saved some money as a society, but I won't hold my breath on that, or on many other social habit improvements.
People on this very site have testified that all they did was cut way down on carbs and they lost enough weight to be normal weight, and kept it off for years. People have also done well counting calories. I don't get paid to work through this, and I know how to keep my blood sugar good, and I don't need to lose or even pay any attention to controlling weight.
So good luck anyone on your personal plan, but I would at least question it if I were bouncing around weight-wise,''
