I've never read the work of Eades.
Calorie restriction is important to achieve the loss of stored body fat, and of equal importance in regard to efficiently burning stored body fat is the ratio of the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) that makes up the calories one eats. There were studies done back in the 1950's which demonstrate this. The specific published clinical studies are cited in the bibliographies of Zone books.
Your reference to snake oil remindes me of something I recently read. Here's a surprising bit of info about snake oil, the term given to concoctions used to scam tons of gullible people a hundred years ago. I read that some of those preparations actually contained omega 3 oils. Omega 3's, especially those from fish oil, are now proven to reduce inflammation, so it's very likely the at least some of that old fashioned snake oil probably did do some good in regard to helping people feel better!
