Popular diets don't differ in helping lose weight, study finds.
Byline: Laura Beil
DALLAS _ A unique side-by-side comparison of four popular diets _ Atkins low-carb, Ornish low fat, the Zone and Weight Watchers _ has found no difference in each plan's weight loss potential. When the fat-free chips are down, the type of diet doesn't seem to matter nearly as much as whether people actually follow it.
"I was kind of surprised at how similar they all looked," said Dr. Michael Dansinger, who conducted the research with his colleagues at Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston. The results appear in Wednesday's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
No diet, it seems, can escape the laws of thermodynamics. There is no magic: Scale back the calories, or use more of them than you take in, to shed pounds. The four diet approaches studied, Dansinger said, "all end up reducing calories."
