Rosedale diet

The Rosedale diet is a low-carbohydrate fad diet based on the ideas of Ron Rosedale about how leptin affects the human body. The diet is marketed with questionable claims about how it can treat a large number of human health conditions.[1]

The Rosedale diet is not based on sound science, and there is no evidence it is safe or effective.[1]

Description

The Rosedale diet was devised by physician Ron Rosedale.[1]

The diet falls into two parts, both of which have lists of restricted and permitted foods. A number of health supplements are recommended, as are 16 unconventional annual health checks.[1] Generally, the diet severely restricts carbohydrate intake.[2]

Reception

Harriet Hall has written that the book describing the diet is a "puerile effort" in comparison to Gary Taube's book Good Calories, Bad Calories which at least attempted to have a scientific basis.[1]

The diet has been recommended by Joseph Mercola. Hall writes that "neither Mercola nor Rosedale can be recommended to anyone who is interested in science-based medicine".[1]

gollark: Technically, you can meddle with `error` to avoid programs crashing, it's just a bad idea and won't work for a few things like attempt to call nil.
gollark: Hmm, probably a Cobalt thing. As far as I know native Lua has a limit of a few thousand.
gollark: ```lualocal function copy(tabl) local new = {} for k, v in pairs(tabl) do new[k] = v end return newend```
gollark: I just define a `copy` function somewhere.
gollark: I wouldn't really want to do that in general, since there is IIRC a limit to how many things you can do that with because of the limit on return values.
