But.. but... they didn’t report significant effects

• toast0 6y ago
  The problem I have with diet research is that the studies (and the internet commenters) are always looking for one thing that everyone can do and get good results. The body is a complex system, and different people's bodies work differently. Really, what I want to know from a diet study is were their negative effects, and did it work for a significant amount of the people. Ideally, for those who it seems to work, do a longer term study to look for negative effects and long term results for people who stick to to it. If you get enough of these studies, and I'd like to change my diet to control my weight, I can try things until I find one that seems to work for me, and have some confidence that it works long term for people who it works for. One diet to rule them all is the same thing as everyone should run the same HTTP server. I love apache, but different systems work better with different servers.

    Our heuristics tends to find a pattern in things. The problem with this behavior is that there is no "silver bullet" solution or pattern ... What I am trying to say is, you are totally right here. I suffer from IBS, and if I just try IF for one day my entire guts go really nuts (I have mixed type of IBS).
