"This" being a low-carb diet. Even NYT stoops to click-baity headlines these days; what is the world coming to.

if the content of the article is valid then getting the most people to read it seems like a good objective.

If Clickbait helps, why not?

I have been doing Keto for 3 months and lost 20kg without any exercise at all.

I have been doing a very flexible diet using low carb, high fat as guidelines for the last 6 years and I lost so far 16kg. No ups and downs, just a slow process of down-stable-down-stable...

It is incredible when you have the right knowledge to make your own right decisions (i.e., know that low fat diets are BS).

Because a headline is meant to let the reader decide if it's worth reading. The newspaper doesn't get to make that call via. trickery.

Enough with this dumb Paleo stupidity. Sure you lose weight temporarily. But its not sustainable and greatly reduces your chances of... being alive. Whole-foods plant-based - I know its boring, but there are decades of science behind it. Eat your greens.

Thank the "low-fat/fat-free" craze for that.

Associating dietary fat with body fat has been one of the worse mistakes in "nutrition" in the past decades.

Now most "low-fat" food has added carbs to deal with the loss of consistency. And even regular foods (especially in the US) have added sugar.
