Diets Quote by Tim Noakes
““There have been more than 74 RCTs, virtually all on Western populations, including at least 32 that lasted six months or longer, and three that lasted two years. (RCTs are considered the gold standard when it comes to judging whether there are any adverse side effects.) These trials have all established the efficacy of the low-carb diet for fighting obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Some official bodies are now in fact taking notice of the risks of low-fat diets,””
