The Battle of the Diets: Is Anyone Winning (At Losing?)
January 17, 2008 presentation by Christopher Gardner for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series. The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Christopher Gardner, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets using real-world conditions, which he discusses – the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top.

@SizzlechestXXX Impressive come back. I’ll have to use that myself.
@Antiks72 Does your handler know you’re on the Internet? Do you find it difficult to post wearing a protective helmet and drool cup? Don’t try to hard to be witty; you might give yourself an aneurysm.
@SizzlechestXXX How about life experience, lard bucket?
@Antiks72 Maybe you should try an exercise that’s really difficult for you. Like picking up a book. If your brain were a muscle, wait…that sounds about right. Nuff said.
@Davori Bullshit.
@SizzlechestXXX I think not.
I think you know the truth deep down. Come on…admit it; you’re lazy and fat.
@Antiks72 Wow. You keep digging yourself deeper and deeper and don’t even realize it. What a sad little man you are.
@SizzlechestXXX I understand you’re a fat ass who doesn’t want to exercise, and that’s perfectly clear from where I’m sitting. Long distance runners, swimmers, and other athletes eat lots of carbs and are thin. Are they eating sugar? No, but they are eating things like pasta. So get off your ass and hit the gym.
@Antiks72 And yet you still don’t understand. Tragic.
@SizzlechestXXX I’ve read more than you ever could, sparky.
@Antiks72 I’m pretty sure you lack the mental capacity to understand basic science. Quit making excuses and hit the library, dumb ass.
@SizzlechestXXX I’m pretty sure exercising leads to weight loss for a majority of the populace. Quit making excuses and hit the gym, fat ass.
@Antiks72 No, I just showed you how absurd your thinking is. You’re assuming correlation = causation. Lots of things changed since you were a kid. Hormones, diet, stress, etc. Maybe you were more active because you were thinner, not the other way around? Did you ever consider that?
@SizzlechestXXX You totally missed my point and erected a strawman argument.
@Antiks72 I used to know a kid who played basketball all the time when he was a kid. He grew up to be 6’5″. If I only would have played more basketball when I was a kid, I’d be taller. It’s not hormones that make you grow it’s basketball.
@Antiks72 Metabolism slows/ you gradually fuck it up through insulin resistance over time. Your excercise factor is anecdotal and moot.
Fucking annoting audience.. SHUT UP!!!!
I ate everything I could get my hands on as a kid and you know what? I was thin as a rail and in tremendous shape. I use to bike around 11 miles a week as a kid. Carbs are not the problem if you’re burning it off exercising.
@Jitpring Great! Remember that you don’t have to go without chocolate. If you can buy Lindt chocolate where you live just climb the Lindt ladder starting at 70% and work your way up to 90 or 99%. You can eat as much as you want and use it to make scrumptous desserts. Also use stevia as a sweetener. The Atkins for a New You book is very good. Don’t be afraid of eggs. Just try to buy drug-free organic foods and eat hi-fat yogurt. If menopausal be patient. It could take months to reset yourself.
@bassrecorder1 I just finished Taubes’ “Why We Get Fat,” which led me to this video. I’m now on Atkins.
Hi hi! Have you ever tried cleverous 402 diet (google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy lost tons of weight with it.
This is a great video. Very impressive to come from someone who is a vegetarian.
@bassrecorder1 True. All that really matters is people eat a low carb diet. Anything more than that we can deal with later on.
@dummybummyful Yes, but I think Atkins meant that carbs are the first choice out of necessity not because they were a better source of fuel. I could be wrong on this but in any case, as Taubes says in defending Atkins, he was wrong about some things but right about the important things. I use “Atkins” to represent the alternate hypothesis in general. Perhaps I shouldn’t. But, at he end of the day, Ancel Keys and all those who follow the low-fat paradigm should hang their heads in shame.
@bassrecorder1 Dr. Atkins is actually incorrect on several things. I am a low carb guy, by the way. He says that carbohydrates are the choice fuel of the body. Without carbohydrates, you use fat for fuel. It’s actually the other way around. The select fuel of the body is fat. If you add carbohydrates, they prevent your body from using fat as fuel and instead you use carbohydrates for fuel. There were many low carb diets before Atkins- he just marketed it well.
@srff24 Diet Mountain Dew – its a drink.
I love the song…but what the hell is “Diet Mtn Dew” !?!

@Ar0n13 what is really “interesting” is that this MAY not be a coincidence
@alenmedulla music is this. love is not this. trawlers are looking for love like the sea is looking for fishes
@l33tpwnzord I think you’re referring to the Trip Hop vibe, no?

Sounds a bit like portishead
She just has that rare X factor thing, every song is so catchy too. I love the variations in her tone..true talented artist!
ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SONG
@papality I’m pretty sure ScottMasson is saying that Lana Del Rey is good and it’s actually a lot more common than you think.
@ScottMasson
so if they’re so great, go listen to them and shut the fuck up
10 people have no soul
@Trotskyish she did a big mistake: her lips!!!
@joeaparis40 thanks for the response. I love this song, and hope it’s available on iTunes sometime…
@TheHenness
There is only Video Games EP available (with Bluejean) …
This kid is going all the way – make no mistake, her career path is assured – there will be no drugs, no tragedy, no sad story. She is good, very good and will become an icon, a true diva.
nice
You’re a jealous white racist. I bet you’re fat white and full of redneck shit
@ScottMasson this kind of music…
