The media is flooded with reports of the latest study in the New England Journal of Medicine which supposedly shows that the Atkins diet is the most effective diet for weight loss.
Before eveyone switches over to an Atkins diet :), let us take a closer look at this study.
The full text of the study is readily available for everyone to read. I would encourage everyone to do this and specifically to look at the "tables."
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/359/3/229
The majority of the weight loss in all three groups happened between the first 5-6 months. After that, all groups regained weight.
According to the tables, here is the amount of weight loss followed by the reduction in calories from baseline (before the diets started)
Low Carb, - ~6.5 kg, -561 calories
MED Diet, - ~4.5 kg, -254 calories
Low Fat, - ~4.5 kg, - 458 calories
Now, is anyone surprised that a group consuming 100 less calories per day for 6 months, lost 2 more kgs of weight over those 6 months
