The expert review panel recommended one practice guideline based on a 2005 randomized trial that provided data to support a memory retraining protocol.12, 13 The trial enrolled 29 subjects with MS - related learning deficits and randomized them to either the control group (n = 14) or the experimental group (n = 15).13 Both groups participated in 8 «treatment» sessions, which consisted of nontraining memory tasks for the control group and the Story Memory Technique (SMT), which taught the skills of visualization and context to improve learning, for the experimental group.13 In subjects with moderately severe impairment, 88 % in the experimental group showed significant improvement in learning abilities compared with 38 % in the control group (P <.01).13 Subjects with mild impairment showed little improvement.13 On this basis, the technique used in this study was recommended by the review panel as a practice guideline for the rehabilitation of learning and memory in persons with MS. 12

Adhering to these traditional concepts the US Department of Agriculture has concluded that diets, which reduce calories, will result in effective weight loss independent of the macronutrient composition, which is considered less important, even irrelevant.14 In contrast with these views, the majority of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive» process for the body and so can lead to a «waste of calories», and therefore increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive» diets.13, 18, 19 The average human body requires 60 — 65 g of glucose per day, and during the first phase of a diet very low in carbohydrates this is partially (16 %) obtained from glycerol, with the major part derived via gluconeogenesis from proteins of either dietary or tissue origin.12 The energy cost of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and food source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action of ketosis.
