In a recent study - Metabolic Effects of Weight Loss on a Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diet Compared With an Isocaloric High-Carbohydrate Diet in Abdominally Obese Subjects, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers reported favorable results for obese adults randomly assigned a low-carbohydrate diet for 24-weeks (six months).
As reported in heartWire, "After six months, isocaloric energy-restricted very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat and high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets produced similar weight loss and substantial reductions in a number of cardiovascular disease risk markers," write Jeannie Tay (Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia) and colleagues in the January 1, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

15:00, 1 pd, jumping ring pullups
I want to like Helen - I do - but then we have to actually do the workout and it all goes to *&^%$#
11:06 - 51s slower than last time. Oof. Excellent job by Justin this morning who carved another 20s off of his PR and smoked the class. I think it's the hat.
wow, that's an awesome picture. that is a LOT of weight being moved. great job by everyone at 6 am
9:55 as rx'd...rested a tiny bit too long before last set of pulls. looking forward to max day tomorrow!
11:47 - just out of CrossFit shape
The picture is great and illustrates how yesterday actually went.... Colin working his ass off while the rest of us stood around and watched!
14:52 with first ever 1 pood kettlebell (it was hard)and ring rows. Thanks Jon!
13:09 - I think I need a fast hat.
Very funny Linda!
My first Helen, I forget the exact time I think it was 11:17 I used a 1/2 pood KB and had to switch from pullups to ring rows but I finished it.
Where's my Weightlifting WOD???!??!??!
Nice Colin. You look like King Kong with great form.
14:39 pr, I need to not take 3 breaks with the pulls. Next time I'll hang onto the bar if necessary.
Great technique work after.
