The low-carb diet isn't just hype: it really helps people lose weight. That's not surprising, since avoiding all processed sugars, refined carbohydrates and high-fructose corn syrup is bound to help people lose body fat, even if they don't exercise vigorously.

Details
Perhaps no idea is more controversial in the diet world than the
contention --- long espoused by the late Dr. Robert Atkins --- that
people on low-carbohydrate diets can consume more calories without
paying a price on the scales.
Maybe the low-carb diets are more satisfying, so they do not get so
hungry.
The study, directed by Penelope Greene of the Harvard School of Public
Health and presented at a meeting here this week of the American
Association for the Study of Obesity, found that people eating an extra
300 calories a day on a very low-carb regimen lost just as much during a
12-week study as those on a standard lowfat diet.
