"A low carbohydrate group (LoCHO = 1800 kcal for men; 1500 kcal for women), a low fat group (LoFat, 1800 and 1500); a third group also consumed a low carbohydrate diet but an additional 300 kcalories were provided (LoCHO+300, 2100 and 1800). The order of average amount of weight lost was LoCHO = 23 lbs, LoCHO+300 = 20 lbs LoFat = 17 lbs." That's not quite the same math I used, but it seems to pretty strongly suggest that a LoCHO+600 group would have have lost 17 lbs, exactly the same as the LoFat group. Perhaps there is some reason to doubt this study, but saying "It is so not" is hardly a rational rebuttal.
