The people that lose weight end up reducing their caloric intake compared to their pre-diet baseline levels, even thought they do not have to consciously count/restrict calories. I guess there's just so much bacon, butter, and brie you can stomach. [I know, I know, that's a gross over-simplification, but I like the alliteration. Thanks to Dr. Ornish.] Your blog entry headline today must be a reference to the diet comparison study published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine It compared Atkins with Mediterranean and "low-fat" weight-loss diets.
