The size of the control group alone is enough to make the study rather questionable.

Every set up and every methodology of every diet study can be criticized for "weakness."

Anything cab be criticized for weakness, but this if a legitimate criticism. If every diet study can be legitimately criticized as weak, which I doubt, then it doesn't say much for the field, but still doesn't support this particular study.
