Best Diet for Weight Loss
Continued from Which Diet Is Best for Weight Loss? Recently, the big news was that Atkins smoked three other diets (its followers shed twice as much weight).
But the real message is this: Hardly anyone can stick to any diet.
Whether on Atkins, Ornish, The Zone, or LEARN, the women in the Stanford study “didn’t come close to following their plans,” says lead author Christopher Gardner, Ph.D.
For example, Atkins and Ornish dieters ate three times their carb and fat maxes, respectively. So he says not to obsess over following any plan to the letter: “The single most effective thing you can do is cut out refined carbs – high-fructose corn syrup and white bread.” [source: Women's Health]
