Getting back to the original topic...
The spin on this study is quite interesting. All the headlines have
anounced it as proof that the Atkins diet leads to more weight loss,
but I heard the people who conducted the study point out on the radio
that while this was true after a year, longer term studies are
needed. Now I read that the Atkins group in the study lost much more
than the ther groups and then regained more than the other groups
also, ending up with a few pounds less weight on average after a year.
So if we had measured at 18 months or 2 years, what would the results
have been?
Interesting also that the Ornish and Zone people are crying sour
grapes, while the Atkins attitude is, see, we told you so. It goes to
show that you have to be very careful when reading about these studies
to go to the original report of the study, evaluate what you read
critically, and try not to be influenced by what people say. Sometimes
the reasons for their veiwpoints are obvious, others times they may
not be.

Add this to the Schneider Children's Hosp. Peds study, the Duke research
and many of the Gannon studies for a very clear picture of the
healthiest approach to diet...

" Gardner's study took 311 premenopausal women and divided them into
four groups. Each was put onto a different diet for one year: the
Atkins, the Zone, the Ornish and LEARN, which is the U.S. government's
recommendation of a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.
The 77 women in the Atkins group lost an average of 10 pounds -- around
twice as much as those on the Ornish and LEARN diets -- while those on
the Zone lost an average of 3.5 pounds.
The reduction of body mass index, triglycerides and blood pressure in
the Atkins group was also higher than among the women of the other
groups. These are all indicators of improved health."
