To be fair, the article never says you can eat 10,000 calories and lose weight.
I know a lot of people think low-fat = healthy, and that fat makes you fat, which isn't really the case.
This article just seems to be confirming that "simple carbs" should be moderated, which is commonly suggested in health and fitness books.
- zdean 13y agoHere are a couple of things the article says: An influential Swedish health organisation has recommended a diet that is low in carbohydrates but not low in fat for people who are overweight or obese or have diabetes. ... “...When all recent scientific studies are lined up, the result is indisputable: our deep seated fear of fat is completely unfounded. You don’t get fat from fatty foods,” Nyström said. Those are both pretty solid endorsements for eating A LOT of fat/fatty foods. If they meant "A diet consisting of a calorie count appropriate for your body size should have a higher proportion of fats to carbs to make your target weight loss more efficient." But they didn't. They simply said/implied 'don't eat carbs but don't worry about how much fat you take in'.
