It demonstrates no increase in atherosclerosis as a result. It doesn’t tell us anything about the effects of a low carbohydrate diet, because there’s no mention of anyone in the study actually eating a low carbohydrate diet. And because it is an observational study, it proves nothing. Nothing at all.

Dana Carpender 5,583

Dana Carpender uses the Atkins Fat Fast to overcome metabolic resistance to break a low carb weight loss stall: 1000 calories/day, 90% from fat. Recommended by the late, great Dr. Atkins as a way to overcome metabolic resistance to weight loss or to break a stall, a fat fast is simple: 1000 calories per day, 90% of those calories from fat. Yes, this is calorie controlled as well as extremely low carbohydrate, and even low protein. The fat fast catapults you into deep ketosis, with its triple benefit of appetite suppression, metabolic advantage, and protection of muscle mass.
