Atkins Diet proves best

I have been a fan of the Atkins diet for about four years now. Loosing 20 pounds in 2 months the first time I tried it. I instantly became a fan. I see it as the diet in which you don’t really diet. Since I have started using the diet to shed pounds quickly I have seen many reports on it. Most trying to debunk it. I found this article on CNN today supporting some of the key touch points about the diet. Here is a clip.

Over the past year, several small studies have shown, to many experts’ surprise, that the Atkins approach actually does work better, at least in the short run. Dieters lose more than those on a standard American Heart Association plan without driving up their cholesterol levels, as many feared would happen.

Skeptics contend, however, that these dieters simply must be eating less. Maybe the low-carb diets are more satisfying, so they do not get so hungry. Or perhaps the food choices are just so limited that low-carb dieters are too bored to eat a lot.

Now, a small but carefully controlled study offers a strong hint that maybe Atkins was right: People on low-carb, high-fat diets actually can eat more.
