@bulkolly, wo habe ich hier welche Studie zitiert?

Grundsätzlich zu diesen Studien (warum sie allesamt in die Tonne gehören) : Es wird immer nur die Anfangsphase einer Diät untersucht, diese ist aber überlagert von dem "Umstellungseffekt", bei dem selbstverständlich mehr Energie aufgewended werden muß, um aus dem neuerdings eingeschränkten Nahrungsbrei die notwendigen Stoffe (wie Glucose) herstellen zu können, dieser Anfangseffekt legt sich aber mit der Zeit (spätestens nach ca. 6-12 Monate nach Diätbeginn) :

the human body on a very low-carbohydrate diet has to expend energy to make carbohydrate for tissues that absolutely require glucose, like the brain and red blood cells (through the process of gluconeogenesis, glucose is synthesized from protein) – this means extra calories are expended. This is only one of many calorie-requiring adaptions to survive that occur when the body is forced to live without sufficient carbohydrate.
Aber diese Kontroverse hatten wir schon wiederholt:

The Bottom Line
Although short-range studies have found that low-carbohydrate diets can produce weight loss, no study has demonstrated that such diets are safe or effective for long-term use [11-14,16-17]. Atkins advocated his diet for more than 30 years and stated that more than 60,000 patients treated at his center had used his diet as their primary protocol. However, he never published any study in which people who used his program were monitored over a period of several years. Scorekeeping can be done simply and inexpensively by mailing an annual questionnaire and tabulating the results. Why do you suppose he never did this?
