Thanks to reader David Brown for this link which gives a good overview of many studies comparing low carb and low fat diets FOR WEIGHT LOSS. Remember, the issue we must focus on is NOT WEIGHT LOSS, but weight maintenance. Until we can find a way to reliably stabilize someone at a new lower weight we have not discovered much that is useful. Fortunately, continuing to eat a diet that is low in carbohydrate and high in non-processed foods does appear to lead to successful maintenance in many.
For more in-depth information on weight loss and maintenance please consult my book, "Refuse to Regain: 12 Tough Rules to Maintain the Body You've Earned". It is currently available in paperback and Kindle formats.
