I think what is being referenced here is that studies showed that the
weight loss on various diets was 100% calculable based on reduced
calories. It didn't matter if the reduced calorie diet was low-carb,
high-carb, low-fat, or high-fat. Total calories in and out accounted
for all of the weight loss. There was no difference between different
caloric sources. Therefore, the conclusion is that low-carb diets only
work due to reduced caloric intake and increased diet duration, and not
due to the reduced percentage of carbohydrate in the diet.
