Here are some food research results.

In addition to links to the actual results of various studies, you’ll also find a brief summary of each — to save you time when searching for topics most important to you.

Use this information to help you determine whether a Low-Fat or Low-Carb diet plan is best for you.

Low-Carb and Low-Fat Diets Face Off
ABC News reports that a major study ranks low-carb diets above the rest.


Is Atkins the Healthiest Choice for Weight Loss?
The beleaguered Atkins diet may get a breath of life from a new study that suggests the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet regime leads to more effective weight loss with fewer negative health effects than 3 other weight loss strategies.


It’s Not What You Eat, But How You Eat
Researchers found no major advantage to any one diet and findings do not support the notion that very low carbohydrate diets are better than standard diets.


Study Finds Health Benefit in Low-Glycemic Diet
A diet rich in the type of carbohydrates that maintain a more stable blood sugar beats out a conventional Low-Fat diet in reducing the risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.


Low-Fat -vs- Low-Carb Headlines Misrepresent Study Results
The study presented 11/15/04 at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity has been mistakenly reported as proof that Low-Fat diets are better at preventing weight re-gain than Low-Carb diets. In a review of the self-reported data, there was absolutely NO difference in weight re-gain between the “low-carb” and “low-fat” groups.


Low-Carb Diets: Better for Men Than Women?
Low carb diets may be better than low fat for slimming your stomach and your chest.


Low-Fat vs Low-Carb: Head To Head
Eating a Low-Fat diet is more effective at sustaining weight loss than eating a diet low in carbs. No matter how people initially lose the weight, those who stick with a Low-Fat diet are more successful at keeping the weight off.


Low-Carb Diets May Hurt Heart Health
Fiber and nutrients in fruits, vegetables, and grains keep cardiovascular system strong, but are lacking in Low-Carb diets.


The Skinny On The Low-Carb Craze
For some it’s working. For some it’s not. In the long run, it’s not beneficial to remain on the Atkins plan for too long.


Atkins Diet Works, But For How Long?

Analysis of Health Problems Associated with High-Protein, High-Fat, and Carbohydrate-Restricted Diets


Studies Bolster Case for Atkins Diet
Two new studies provide evidence that a Low-Carb diet is at least as effective as a Low-Fat diet in helping people drop excess weight without harming their cholesterol levels.


High-Carb, Low-Fat Diet Keeps Healthy Ratio Of HDL, LDL Cholesterol
Carbohydrate-based dips in a person’s HDL due to dieting pose no real threat to health, because blood levels of LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) tend to fall in equal proportion at the same time.


More Carbs, Less Weight
A small group of older men and women actually lost weight on a complex carbohydrate diet that let them eat until they were full without counting calories.


Atkins Diet Controversy
The problem is that the common perception, that you can eat all the meat, all the bacon, all the cheese… that is not correct. An Atkins expert says only 20% of a dieter’s calories should come from saturated fat.


How the Low-Carb Craze Is Making Us Fat
When a weight-loss theory becomes a marketing tool, America gains weight.


A Warning To Atkins Dieters

Low-Carb Dieters Can Eat More

People on Low-Carbohydrate diets can actually eat more than those on standard Low-Fat plans and still lose weight.


Fats vs Carbs: The Rare Truth About Fats
