Dr. Gardner argues that most Americans eat way more protein than the RDA (we average ~90g/day vs. ~60g needed). According to Dr. Gardner, extra protein is just extra calories. 
Critics argued that the system ranked some foods in a way that contradicts common dietary guidance. Some ultra-processed breakfast cereals were rated as healthier than whole foods like eggs and beef, raising concerns about the algorithm’s accuracy and the weighting of attributes. 
But first, the challenges.
1. Prioritize higher satiety per calorie foods, eaten first and in larger quantity:
Yes you are correct, the Atkins diet, or at least as described (high fat, low carbohydrate) would be it. 😬 
Note that PROTEIN vs ENERGY spectrum is really just protein percentage of calories. Highest importance [which is why I wrote an entire book on Protein.Energy]. 
If we take a closer look at one of these comparisons — western vs traditional Pima for example — we see that while energy intake and expenditure are basically the same for both groups, the traditional group is twice as active and has way lower BMI and body fat. 🤔
First and foremost, protein should be the highest priority for most eating episodes. Protein provides the highest fullness overall — which is why I wrote an entire book focusing primarily on the ratio of protein versus non-protein energy macros [ thePEdiet.com ].
Did I mention it was 40% protein?
To lose weight, you really want to change your DIET.
This is a hugely important concept that a lot of low carbers miss.
