entire article: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1199154
Basically it states that with three different diets of very low carb, low fat, and low glycemic index, it matters WHAT you eat as well as how much.
LOW-GLYCEMIC DIET
Helps stabilize blood sugar and metabolism
Shows bene!cial impacts
on stress and in"ammation
Wards off hunger
May promote well-being, mental and
physical performance
