Episode 278: Journal Club 6: A Re-Analysis of DIETFITS

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast’s Journal Club.


Dr. Matt Calkins is an emergency medicine resident who loves
studying the science of longevity, the optimization of all phases
of health, and applying his knowledge to physician and patient
wellness. Matt earned his M.D. from the University of Florida and
holds a B.Sc. in physics.


In this conversation, Tro and Matt talk about the conclusions,
parameters, and methods of the DIETFITS study, what can be
reasonably concluded from this study and what cannot, some of the
weaknesses in the design of the study, conflicts of interest with
the lead author of the study, the findings of a recent
re-analysis of the DIETFITS study, and some important
distinctions between what can be learned from clinical trials and
what is observed in clinical practice.
