I know it treads awfully close to the rule against being dismissive, but speaking as someone with enough college level biology to read and understand nutrition studies, along with observing how common self-deception is when it comes to food journaling, I've concluded that one can safely ignore any study that didn't use a metabolic ward. Here is an example[1] of a similar study run in a controlled environment.

- dqv 5y agoI think there is utility in having non-metabolic-ward studies, but for the primary purpose of highlighting sociological issues surrounding diet. You need the ward, of course, to prove what works and what doesn't under perfect conditions. But you also have to figure out how to export those conditions from the ward.
