Is the weight loss worth it? Probably not. When researchers at three universities (the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia was the lead center) compared a low-carb, high-fat, high-protein diet (with no restriction given on number of calories) to a high-carb, low-calorie (1,200-1,500 calories for women), lowfat diet, they found that while the Atkins-diet group lost about 4 percent more weight in the first six months, by one year weight loss was comparable for both groups. In the end, a low-carb diet is as difficult to adhere to as any--and may actually be harder to stick with, since the choice of foods is more restricted and there are more side effects than with a lowfat, calorie-controlled diet.
Fortunately, you can follow a lower-carb diet that's nutritionally sound and healthy, says Jo Ann Hattner, M.P.H., R.D., author of Help! My Underwear Is Shrinking! (American Diabetes Association, 2003). This is especially good news if you are someone who is able to lose weight more easily by eating fewer carbs. (That likely includes many of us: A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that American women are consuming far more calories than they did 30 years ago--335 more a day, on average!--and there's reason to believe much of that is coming from refined carbohydrates such as those found in pizza, salty snacks and restaurant foods.) So it seems many of us could benefit from a (sane) reduction in carbs. Here, then, are the four essential things you need to remember when following a healthy lower-carb diet for weight loss.
