If this is the same comparison discussed on USA's Good Morning America, then the sampling was very small and the difference between the margins was only 2 or 3 people in each group. Dr. Tim Johnson gave a wary review of this "study".

His point matches my view. That it's still a matter of calories in and calories out. He also pointed out that people with kidney distress don't need the extra proteins of the low-carb diet.

I just get tired of all the "extreme" diets.
