A report by JAMA said it's just another variety of reduced
calorie eating plan and it has all the problems of other
specialty diets, namely people get bored with the selection
and stop following it.

Start an exercise program and get a referral to a registered
dietitian for help with choosing and cooking foods right.

RD's will guarantee that you never make progress.
Great advice, Patricia!

I'm such a skeptic about diet and nutritional claims (because so many
are bogus) but am interested in this Low carb mania that seems to be
popular these days.

I notice that in the supermarkets there are new products touting
themselves as "Low Carb" with the insinuation that that will help with
weight control.

As I understand it, low carb foods tend to lessen the "amplitude" of
blood insulin levels which can cause hunger signals and consequently
cause a person to eat more. If that's true, isn't the bottom line STILL
calories "in" versus calories "out" or is there something else that the
low carb diet does?
