Atkins a good way to lose weight?
According to a recent study Atkins diet is a good way to lose weight without adverse health effects. Stanford University researchers did a yearlong study and compared Atkins to three other diets. I have not tried any real official diets but have heard good and bad comments about Atkins. This study does look interesting though. Atkins is a very low-carbohydrate diet, and apparently does help a lot in losing weight.

Here is the article:
A yearlong, head-to-head study of four widely used diets found that overweight women who followed the very low-carbohydrate Atkins diet had no adverse health effects and lost slightly more weight than women on the other three.
The study by Stanford University researchers compared the Atkins approach with three others: the standard low-fat, reduced-calorie regimen long recommended by many physicians and weight loss experts; the Zone, a reduced-carbohydrate approach developed by author Barry Sears; and the very low-fat, high-carbohydrate regimen created by physician Dean Ornish.
After a year, women in the Atkins group averaged a modest 10-pound loss compared with about 6 pounds for those in the three other groups.
The latest findings add to a growing body of evidence that the very low-carbohydrate, high-protein Atkins diet does not cause the harmful heart and artery effects long feared by many researchers.
