Science of dieting: Slim pickings

In April last year, the researchers revealed the results of this

systematic review1, which should provide those embracing the Atkins

craze with food for thought. They couldn't find any evidence that

diets containing low proportions of carbohydrates were more

effective. Consuming fewer calories overall, and sticking with a diet

for a long time, were the only significant factors for slimming

success.

Eat yourself fitter

Hundreds of diet books claim that the answer lies with their

particular prescription for tweaking the proportions of fat,

carbohydrate and protein that we eat. Some focus on the idea that

certain forms of carbohydrate — those with a low 'glycemic index',

which are metabolized more slowly — are more conducive to weight loss

than others

the low-carbohydrate approach [snip] But do any of these diets

work? And are they safe?

[snip]

two studies provide the best evidence so far that low-

carbohydrate diets may be of some use for patients who need to shed

weight — at least in the early stages of their treatment. " We have

moved it from quackery to science, " says . " Maybe there is

something there, with the emphasis on the 'maybe'
