Low-carb diets have already been shown to bring about weight loss but

My cholesterol improved when I became more rigorous about counting
carbs -- good chol up, bad chol down. I eat lots of high-fat stuff,
and I don't count calories. Oh, and I lost six inches off my hips.

I do have a friend who had to stop low-carbing because of her
cholesterol readings, so I guess it has different effects on different
people. It's not an across-the-board thing.
