The Battle of the Diets

Christopher Gardner PhD of Stanford University made this very interesting presentation in 2008.

He is comparing four different diets: Atkins, Zone, LEARN, and Ornish from a perspective of the every day book reader. (If you read this book - how well will you success on the diet it is recommending?) So the research is very public friendly.



One thing that the study shows is that it is VERY hard to follow a book without assistance from someone helping you get back on track every month or so. Off course this takes me back to my every day longing of becoming a nutritionist to have classes and follow up sessions with all of those who wants to succeed, but that is another story.

Enjoy the show!
