Anyone who tells you that you can't get funding for this kind of research because it's all controlled by industry should go straight into the "untrustworthy" drawer.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990930104445175400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131167402709600353.post-9219377079668056952013-12-31T11:10:04.907+00:002013-12-31T11:10:04.907+00:00To be honest, I've not gone to the level of lo...To be honest, I've not gone to the level of looking out journals - mainly because, as a non-academic, I find it hard to get hold of them - but the books I've waded through so far have a shedload of references at the back. The other reason being that there is little to no funding for the research; let's face it, who would sponsor such research given large chunks of food industry and economic stability is rooted in the production of high carbohydrate foods. A main exception being around the study of diabetes, which kinda makes it easy to knock results as the subjects are "not normal" in the first place. And the final restriction is that the studies need to be long term, not just a few days, as that's not long enough for adaptation to a very different ratio of macronutrients to happen and all you end up with is dopey, cranky subjects who just want a ham and cheese toastie, stat.<br /><br />I've also found that people are getting hung up on the weight loss side of things rather than the other parts around improved lipid profiles, reduced effect of insulin peaks - as they simply happen less or not at all on a HFLC diet for those who have had trouble with it before, etc. And many people equate HFLC with just eating bacon, eggs, cream and butter, where it really means you should be eating quite a lot of veg (mainly green, leafy veg, but plenty of others, just generally not potatoes) a reasonable amount of eggs and then some cheese, meat and fish. And I think that's where the perception goes wonky for most.<br /><br />Anyway; what little I have found this morning without access to the books by Volek, Noakes and Taubes (they're packed up in storage at the moment):-<br /><br />http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v67/n8/abs/ejcn2013116a.html<br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19082851?dopt=Abstract&holding=npg<br />http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=718265<br />http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/3/1/7<br /><br />And it looks like there's a ton more out thereTOTKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439490220805413628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5131167402709600353.post-8670443354061900592013-12-31T09:59:33.812+00:002013-12-31T09:59:33.812+00:00Hi Kat
