I know that's what has worked for me. I lost more than 100 pounds on a high carb diet with much more exercise than is usually prescribed. My blood sugars also went from diabetic to normal, and LDL went from high to low. (I have to give statins some of the credit for the LDL.)
However, I know that what worked for me won't necessarily work for others. The sample (N = 1) just isn't large enough to draw any conclusions. We still need good science to tease out all the factors. Of course, in the meantime, I'll stick with what works for me.
