madler, you seem to miss the entire point of the study. It wasn't done to see if they could lose weight, it was done to see which diet, if any, would provide the most weight loss compared to the other diets. The study wasn't to help them eat fewer calories, it was to compare the caloric input of varying diets and attempt to discern the different in weight loss between them.
