The 19,500 LUCKY women in this trial were offered FREE dietary advice and exercise help and group support, for ten years.
You'd jump at that offer wouldn't you. The best possible help for the nations leading clinics.
The researchers were finally going to prove that the low fat high carbohydrate diet they had been promoting for 40 years was a "healthy diet." You can see the results above.
To add insult to injury, as a weight loss diet the recommendation also failed. They cut dietary calories by 350 calories a day, predicting a slow weight loss of 14 lbs a year. So over seven years there was a potential to lose 14x7 = 98 lbs.
Weight Loss Success: Average weight loss over seven years was just over ONE pound. Calorie counting is nonsense.
