A new low-carb vs. low-fat diet has come out, and the Dr. Atkins camp is claiming victory, although the low-fat camp of Dr. Dean Ornish is crying foul.

According to the NY Times...
"In a tightly controlled dieting experiment, obese people lost an average of
just 6 to 10 pounds over two years...the results highlight the difficulty of
weight loss and the fact that most diets do not work well."
The scientists studied 322 moderately obese men and women following one of
three diets, either a low fat diet (less than 30% of calories from fat -
which really isn't "low fat" as Dr. Ornish correctly points out); a
Mediterranean diet; or the Atkins low-carb diet.
(In the interest of full disclosure, the study was partly financed by the
Atkins Research Foundation.)
The researchers did not claim one diet to be better than another, although
the low-carb and mediterranean diet groups lost more weight (10 pounds)
compared to the low-fat group (6 pounds).
In fact, men and women responded very differently to the diets. Women lost
the most weight with the mediterranean diet (14 pounds) and the least with
the low carb diet (5 pounds), while the men lost the most with the low carb
diet (11 pounds).
The results all clearly all over the board.
The researchers concluded the results were modest, but still improved the
subject's health.
However, all this information misses the main result of this study.
And despite what the NY Times wants you to believe, it's not, "diets don't
work".
It's that, "Dieters" don't work.
After all, if I worked with 322 moderately obese people for TWO YEARS, I'd
be ashamed if they only lost 6-10 pounds.
The dirty truth about diets - the politically incorrect truth that no one
wants to admit because it takes away all excuses for a lack of personal
responsibility - is that DIETS DO WORK.
On the other hand, I'd bet that almost every subject in that study lied
about how compliant they were with the diet they were assigned.
But that's HUMAN NATURE.
We all think we eat better than we do.
And that's how you end up with 322 people dieting for two years, and all
they can achieve is an average of 8 pounds of weight loss.
It's not the diets that aren't working.
