Low-carb diet best for weight loss
By MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer 2 hours, 29 minutes ago


ATLANTA - The Atkins diet may have proved itself after all: A low-carb diet and a Mediterranean-style regimen helped people lose more weight than a traditional low-fat diet in one of the longest and largest studies to compare the dueling weight-loss techniques.

A bigger surprise: The low-carb diet improved cholesterol more than the other two. Some critics had predicted the opposite.
"It is a vindication," said Abby Bloch of the Dr. Robert C. and Veronica Atkins Foundation, a philanthropy group that honors the Atkins' diet's creator and was the study's main funder.
However, all three approaches — the low-carb diet, a low-fat diet and a so-called Mediterranean diet — achieved weight loss and improved cholesterol

here is the link to the whole article.... a friend of mine who works as a pharmecutical rep in Oklahoma sent it to me... he calls on Dr.s all day and says that many of them support the atkins approach, recommend it and are on it themselves... that is always encouraging to know.

I love it!

My cousin and I started our "diets" at the same time. I started Atkins and she went on ALLI (sp?). It's been almost a month now. 2 days ago she says, "Oh my god, half your face is gone, how much have you lost already?" I say, " nearly 15 pounds". She grimaces and says, "I've lost 3....and the worst part is (sorry TMI) I get the runs everyday". I say, "hmmm I sure don't". Yesterday she stopped by and borrowed my DANDR. LOL...

And the winner is.......

(no need to say, I think the vote is unanimous over here )
