What do you like about this subject? I like to clarify most misunderstood and misinterpreted issues in dieting

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I hope to learn more about people's problem and interests in the health and dieting area.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: 1) Low carb dieters really can eat more calories and still lose weight;
2) Atkins diet contains elements that can't be controlled by dieters and I think this is the most common reason for failures.
I explain it in my Fat Burning Index concept.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Provocative: Mediterranean and French paradoxes. Glycemic Index, saturated fats, and protein grams on a low carb diet.

Developing the Banta Diet, I was trying to understand and employ the generalized "European paradox."
