"The weight lost while on low-carb diets, such as the popular Atkins
Diet, results mostly from eating fewer calories and sticking with the
diet as long as possible, not in limiting carbohydrates per se, say
researchers from Stanford and Yale Universities.

Of course. That's been said here for years.

"The researchers analyzed 107 studies published on low-carbohydrate
diets in the past 35 years. They found that the diets of those who lost
the most weight (22 pounds or more, on average) varied widely in
carbohydrate content, up to 60 grams a day.

You mean, from none to half the level required to get out of ketosis?
That isn't "widely" to me.

Yeah no **** that is an extremely low amount of carbs!


What they all had in common,
however, was that calories were restricted to about 1,100 per day and
the diets lasted about four to five months."

Losing the most weight requires the fewest calories per day, sure.

What were the results for people who dieted for even longer than 4-5
months?

I posted a few recent studies of 6m-1yr.

Nutrient partitioning effects, theoretically - although Lyle's readings tell
a different story.
