I don't get my health information from un-cited fluff "articles" on Yahoo News. They are creating content for ad revenue; they are not sharing peer-reviewed relevant research. |

Replace "carb" with "fat" and you have a decent article. |

Wow - That is the same thing they've been pushing for at least the last decade. Who does these studies? Maybe I'm some kind of freak of nature but I cannot seem to lose weight with a lot of carbs in my diet. Partly because it's bs that it fills you up, it may when you're eating them but it's not lasting. I also crave carbs like crazy if I am eating a lot of carbs so that makes it even harder to not binge or cheat. Grains, beans, and legumes also make me feel sluggish and bloated! |

As a practitioner of science, it makes me sick that they called this "evidence based" when all of the studies are based on human's subjective responses. A 10% reduction in hunger, as reported by humans, is small enough IMO to be negligible or a sample bias. Anecdotally, I can say that carbs often make me feel lousy. Maybe some people do well on this kind of diet, but I'm not one of them. |

It's sad that people just accept what is thrown at them and do not look deeper into the subject... |

Low carb diets have won out every time they were scientifically run head to head with higher carb diets in controlled studies. The best research suggests low carb is the best way to lose weight. The author is probably just a carb addict and so is ignoring basic research. |

Thanks for the responses. I am just baffled that this kind of info keeps getting out there. I mean, the people conducting these studies must have some kind of solid grounding in science, and likewise whatever university they work for. But it kinda makes me angry...my initial weight gain happened in the 90s (with ups and downs since...paleo is intended to be my once-and-for-all down, a way of life), when, if you were there, every "expert" recommended eating LOTS of bagels, pasta, rice, etc, in order to be healthy and fit. I followed that advice then, and paid the price for many years. |

This is research by the carb-biased (or carb-funded) scientist, interpreted by non-scientists to fit their desired views without analysis or understanding, (is then) read by people who want to know that what they are already doing will suddenly become good for them. What a deadly chain of bias and pre-conceived notions!!! |

It is far more profitable to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they should know. |

"A recent multi-center study found that the slimmest people also ate the most carbs, and the chubbiest ate the least." What!??! |
