Indeed, Heaney concludes in his October paper, if one
accepts the 32 ng / ml value of 25 - D as the necessary minimum for preventing bone
loss in the United States, a minimum daily intake of some 2,600 IU of vitamin D per day would be needed to meet the needs of 97 percent of U.S. residents.
Some researchers suggest that there are not in fact any metabolic advantages in low - carbohydrate diets and that weight
loss results simply from reduced caloric intake, probably due to the increased satiety effect of protein.12 Others instead promote the hypothesis that there is
indeed a distinct metabolic advantage, which has recently been explored in more detail, raising interest in the role of VLCKD in weight
loss and effects on metabolism in general.13 The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, has in effect controlled the concepts for the basis of weight
loss for over a century — resulting in a difficulty in
accepting other ways of thinking.
