Default Low-carb and Mediterranean diets beat low-fat for weight-loss, lipid changes at two years

Beer-Sheva, Israel - Both a low-carbohydrate diet or a Mediterranean-style
diet may be "effective alternatives" to a low-fat diet, with more favorable
effects on lipids and/or glycemic control, new research suggests [1]. The
two-year study, which managed to keep almost 85% of the 322 study
participants on one of the three diets for the entire period, offers the
hope that weight-loss diets can be tailored to personal preferences, without
sacrificing efficacy, researchers say.


A loss of 3 - 4 kilograms over a two year period is a bit underwhelming no
matter what the diet.
