Fat and Cognition in the Elderly

[JaneV2.0]

I ran across this fascinating experiment, in which a young, fit man compares two diets consisting of vastly different macronutrients: 5000 calories, over a period of a month, meticulously recorded. If the "calories in, calories out" theory is correct, he should have the same result both time--a predictable weight gain. In fact, that's not what happened.

The second half of his experiment (low fat, high carb) is ongoing. During the first half (HFLC), he gained a little over 2 pounds, and lost 3" off his waist. So far, one week into the LFHC experiment, he's gained 7 pounds and added 2 inches to his waist. Preliminary results suggest not all calories are created equal.

That is really interesting...I think I need to stop being so sedentary and see if that helps.....if not maybe I will revisit a low carb diet again. Just so hard not to eat bread.
