Definitely worth a read. It seems to be quite expensive now. I was lucky to get it for 1,27€ as Kindle edition last year (just looked it up in my past orders) in March when there was a promo at amazon. Now the book is 14,99€, yikes! Davis is also not the only bariatric surgeon who comments on the favored LCHP diet. Weiner also criticizes the obsession with "lean animal protein". His book "a pound of cure" is worth a read, too. (Available on Kindle Unlimited for free at the moment.)

Nobody forces us to eat that little calories. With time the amount of food one can eat usually increases. During the months we are able to eat only very small portions we maybe shouldn't focus on HCLP and view the high protein content of the food as some kind of medical prescription to avoid deficiencies.

@ldyvenus I'd like to know what those labs look like, too. A lot of people on HPLC diets on here like to mention frequently that their labs are "perfect" but I haven't seen specifics yet. Most of the studies I've read so far find no difference in the short term, but concerns in the long term due to cutting out the source of many beneficial micronutrients and an increase in adverse cardiovascular findings. I'll be sure to post about my labs when I next have them, following the LPHC hypothesis.

I would really like to know what blood labs look like for people who follow high protein/fat diets. It would be interesting to see the long term effect. I am a fan of the moderate diet with a balance of everything included.
