This will be a relatively short post, but due to my recent offering, I re-read some of the original Shai et.al LF v. Mediterranean v. LC diet comparison study and had some commentary to add. First, leaving aside reasons for withdrawal, there was a significant difference in compliance/completion between the three groups -- roughly 90% of LF, 85% of MDTN and 78% of LC subjects that completed the 2-year intervention.
