The New
England Journal of Medicine published
a comparative study on the effects of a
low-carbohydrate diet, a Mediterranean diet,
and a
low-fat diet. The result is that the low
carb diet showed the highest weight loss,
followed by the Mediterranean, while low-fat
was the least effective. The study has
gotten great attention because it followed a
large sample, over the course of several
years and it had a low drop out rate.
"This
study looked at over 300 people who
followed their assigned diets strictly for
two years, making this one of the longest
diet studies in recent history. The bottom
line was that the low-carb diet was
hands-down the most impressive at improving
health in all areas. Those on the low-carb
plan lost more weight, experienced a greater
reduction in the dangerous C-reactive
protein, lowered their triglycerides, raised
their HDL cholesterol and dropped their A1C
more than those on either the Mediterranean
or the low-fat diets, although the
Mediterranean was a close second most of the
time."
John Tierny has been following the debate on
dietary fat and highlights the favorable
reactions of science writer Gary
Taube to this study. Made famous by his
2007 book "Good
Calories, Bad Calories", Gary Taube has
become an effective spokesman for those
skeptical of low fat diets.
A good resource for athletes interested in
the benefits of a low carbohydrate diet is
"The
Paleo Diet for Athletes" by Loren
Cordain and Joe Friel. Working with renowned
nutritionist Loren Cordain is triathlete and
coach Joe Friel. Basing their
recommendations on the standard "paleo" diet
popularized by Cordain (basically, fish, lean
meat, vegetables and fruits), they make some
modifications prior to, during and
post-exercise to provide
sufficient carbohydrates during recovery to
replenish muscle glycogen.
