One twin gave up sugar, the other gave up fat. Their experiment could change YOUR life | Daily Mail Online
Sugar v Fat, 2013-2014, Horizon - BBC Two
The results after a month are :
Carbs :
-improved insulin sensitivity (but the doc says this is only temporary , long term it would get awful no doubt)
-very minor weight loss, lost only fat
-performed better in physical and mental activity
Fats:
-worse insulin sensitivity
-worse physical and mental performance
-lost much more weight but mostly muscle mass
The problem with the experiment (besides their assumptions that a long term high carb diet would be bad for health when the only evidence from the experiment is that short term it's great) is that we don't know how much proteins each of them ate, but I don't know if it was any different.
An other flaw is that the experiment was sponsored by @Westside PUFAs and @Stryker .
