Flawed study says you can eat all you want, avoid exercise, and still lose weight
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Everybody following the Atkins diet pay attention: a new study says you
can lose weight by eating a high-carbohydrate diet, eating all you want,
and without engaging in any exercise at all! If that sounds too good to
be true that's probably because it is. The study involved a mere 34
people, and is already being criticized as flawed by some doctors.
The funny thing is, we don't need a clinical study to tell us the
effects of a nonrestricted, high-carbohydrate diet with no exercise:
half the country is already on that system, and the results are quite
obvious: obesity, heart disease, diabetes and depression.
My guess
is this study was funded by some company or industry group that's losing
money thanks to the accelerating popularity of the low-carb diet.
Thanks to the Atkins diet and the South Beach Diet, people are changing
their food purchasing behavior, and a few industries are experiencing
plummeting sales. I wouldn't put it past them to try to come up with
some sort of study that shows people can lose weight on a
high-carbohydrate diet.
