What did you think of this article?</p> <p><a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/eating-fat-staying-lean/?ref=health" rel="nofollow">http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/eating-fat-staying-lean/?ref=health</a></p> <p>It's nice to see NYtimes publishing more information on the subject, though I have more than a few qualms with the article...</p> <p>I also have some major question marks on the Dr. Phillips study:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3032663/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3032663/</a></p> <p>but, curious as to your thoughts why the study showed decreased visceral fat with the Low Fat diets.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41718/thoughts-on-nytimes-eating-fat-staying-lean/41719#41719 Answer by miked for Thoughts on NYtimes: Eating fat, staying lean? miked 2011-06-02T15:36:35Z 2011-06-02T15:36:35Z <p>Meh, they still focus too much on the exercise and calorie restriction at the cause.

It's a generic waffling article like you would see in the mainstream press, just regurgitating what the researchers told the "journalist" without actually doing any thought on their own.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41718/thoughts-on-nytimes-eating-fat-staying-lean/41720#41720 Answer by luckybastard for Thoughts on NYtimes: Eating fat, staying lean? luckybastard 2011-06-02T15:43:12Z 2011-06-02T15:43:12Z <p>couple of points. Stephan over at whole health source during his recent posts about food reward has been trying to prove that one of the major factors in fat loss is food reward and it's connections with satiety and other pathways that i don't understand. in one of his posts, he pointed out that low-fat, high fat, paleo, and even vegan diets have been beneficial in people who are trying to lose fat. there are a lot of ways to skin a cat but i'd argue that there are better and more efficient ways...</p> <p>in my experience, a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet helped me move my bf% into a normal range. after hitting that setpoint and staying there, i have had to recently go on a psmf with basically very little fat, high protein and low carbs to get my setpoint moving again. depending on your goals, sometimes you have to adjust things a bit to achieve them...</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/41718/thoughts-on-nytimes-eating-fat-staying-lean/41753#41753 Answer by LiveBigger for Thoughts on NYtimes: Eating fat, staying lean? LiveBigger 2011-06-02T18:31:38Z 2011-06-02T18:31:38Z <p>I generally get the feeling, with this article in particular, that they don't trust the findings and are waiting for 'the catch' before they publish the follow up. </p>
