So, Eggs Benedict for everyone! Extra Hollandaise! Hash browns on the side!
To state the obvious, anyone can cite studies defending his food of choice. Thus has it always been. To me, even if the evidence is circumstantial as opposed to definitive, it seems to me logical that 1) if we consume more calories than we burn, we add weight; 2) foods high in fat have more calories; 3) simple carbs like white flour, and more so, concentrated simple carbs like sugar, while not as caloric as fats, don't satisfy the appetite as fat does. So, I am left with the belief that a diet heavy in vegetables, fruit, fish, and whole grains is the way to go.
Not that I follow this plan with 100% faith, but I try.

What I am convinced of, after a couple of years of study and self-experimentation, is that there isn't any one diet that is best for everyone. Some people actually do better on a high-carb/low-fat diet, others do better on a low-carb/high-fat diet.
I know what seems to work for me, but I make no claims of what would work best for anyone else. People are different.
(Except that the Standard American Diet (SAD) isn't good for anyone.)
