Be interesting to know if no difference is also found for males.

    The bit in bold is why you loss weight - it is a diet you could stick to.

    There are other studies showing that both low fat, high carb and high fat, low carb diets also make you lose the same level of weight.

    The reason they all work is due to calorie reduction.

    Yeah but it was the thin edge of the wedge and where it started the marathon and many high calorie bars followed.

    In the 70's people weren't slim because what they ate it was due to when they ate e.g. no snacking between meals.

    And it's not just pictures from the 1930s I am talking about here. Your holiday snaps from the 70s too. Look at those people. Most of them did no excercise to speak of, never saw a gym, but young and old - completely slim. You almost forget that this is what normal human beings look like.

    The media will sometimes joke about how terrible our diet was in the 70s. Oh really?
