You know, I bet the immense refined carbohydrates industry is shitting in its pants (or will be soon) over the fear that soon the population will realize that this sort of diet is the way to lose weight and keep it off.<p>And that means the refined carbohydrate industry will do what corporations always do when science discovers they are making a product that is harmful to society, namely launch a massive disinformation campaign. And of course that will include a small army of astroturfers.

Excellent article.<p>I came up with a similar approach, and lost 50 lbs. My basic principle is to eat all I want, but make sure it is mostly food that is moderately low in calories, and avoid processed carbohydrates. I call it &quot;the low willpower diet&quot;<p>Nutrition scientist Susan Roberts has a book, The &quot;I&quot; Diet, that lays out this sort of approach in detail, with lots of recipes.
