Everyone is reporting this study as if it shows efficacy for a specific diet. Nothing could be further from the truth
Firstly, everything here is self-report. It's people telling the researchers on their online survey what they think is true I hate to break it to you, but people lie
People don't always lie out of malice or spite, but because we are generally shit at remembering things
So, for example, if you ask people who are using a specific diet whether they think that diet works, they're more likely to say yes EVEN IF IT DOESN'T
This study could easily be just people misreporting symptoms on an online survey, which isn't unlikely because look at where they were recruited from A Facebook Grouppic.twitter.com/3fprKqEFPj
If you recruit people who are in a Facebook group promoting a methodology, and then ask them if it's a good idea, what do you expect them to say????
Also VLCD stands for Very Low Carbohydrate Diet AND Very Low Calorie Diet - which could be potentially dangerous to Type 1 DM (not to mention the need for carbs to treat hypos eh)
Yeh in this paper they used it to acronym low carbs but either way it's pretty bad!
