A member asked:
How effective is the low fat diet proposed by dean ornish? is there evidence to suggest it's as effective as he claims?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effective: There have been many studies documenting retardation and even reversal of atherosclerosis using the very low fat diet proposed by Dean Ornish. Here's 1 reference in a respected, peer reviewed, professional medical journal:http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=188274 - the problem is: it's a very hard diet to follow. Only the highly motivated are successful.
