The New England Journal of Medicine grabbed attention from both NBC and ABC for the sort of research that is a no-brainer for the networks' morning shows but could easily have been skipped on such a hard news day by the nightly newscasts. NBC's in-house physician Nancy Snyderman--a veteran of ABC's Good Morning America--and ABC's Ned Potter--in a show anchored by Charles Gibson, formerly of ABC's Good Morning America--took the bait and reported on the NEJoM's comparison of four different weight loss plans, with differing regimes of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The result was that reducing calories is the important ingredient to a successful diet, not which foods to eat while cutting back. "That old formula," smiled NBC's Snyderman, "calories in and calories out."
To her credit, former Today anchor Katie Couric resisted the temptation to nibble on this story at CBS Evening News.
