Very interesting and a lot of food for thought in that article. I have always been a proponant of eating low GI food, but never stopped to think about those carbohydrate drinks like Lucozade, I guess on the assumption that I would be burning those calories off rapidly as part of my workout. It's a hard pill to swallow - that perhaps fatty food is not our enemy after all. I do think that the author neglected to mention what, if any, exercise the subjects of the various tests and studies were required to take, although he did mention that weight loss occured simply by cutting out the carbs (I say simply - the science behind it seems possible to my non science mind!). It would be interesting to look into the outcome of the studies mentioned on the last page of the article, as well as any reaction to the article by either the medical or from the fitness world. After all, if people can lose weight just by well, eating less (shock!) then why go to the gym (well, of course there are those who train to race...but what about the housewife who wants to shed those post Christmas pounds!) Thanks for posting this, it's going to keep me thinking for a while. Plus, it's good to challenge the status quo. Wow. Very interesting and a lot of food for thought in that article.

It’s a hard pill to swallow – that perhaps fatty food is not our enemy after all.
