Nothing Hirsch says discredits the paper cited. The paper claims that the resting energy expenditure of the subjects with low carb diets was higher than the high carb diet expenditure.
Therefore, the low carb diet contingent burns more energy at rest than the high carb diet contingent. I looked at the data and it certainly trended that way. They claim that the data are statistically significant. One thing of note, however, is that the low carb diet contingent had higher levels of cortisol and I think I remember reading C-reactive protein. These are markers of inflammation and if they are elevated tend to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease among other things. I try to eat as many veggies as possible and be moderate in my intake of carbs and meat. In any event, a diet with lots of veggies is good for preventing cancer. Luckily I don't need to be too worried about weight.
