BEST WAY TO LOSE?

A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)claimed that people who went on the Atkins Diet lost more weight after 12 months(and it was better for their heart)than those on three other popular diets.However,the researches' analysis showed there was no statistically significant difference in weight loss on the Atkins,Ornish and LEARN diets after a year.This is not surprising,since most people didn't follow any of the diets very well.What this study really shows is that it's hard to lose weight just from reading a book.That's hardly news to anyone who has ever tried.In our earlier research,also published in JAMA,most people followed the program I recommend and lost 10 kilos on average in the first year and kept off half that weight five years later.Their LDL(bad)cholesterol fell by an averageof 40%in the first year without drugs.Also,they showed reversal of heartdisease after one year and even more improvement after five.This doesn't mean you should never indulge in bacon,burgers and cheese.just don't kid yourself that these foods are good for your heart.
