Australian scientists find low-carb diet leads to permanent weight loss

• Well, that's exactly what two Australian scientists claim regarding their "new" weight loss plan.
• After conducting their own research on the various diet plans out there, these scientists found that a diet with a lot of protein, which comes primarily from beef, chicken, fish, pork and daily products, and lower in carbohydrates were found to be "significantly more successful in terms of heart health, appetite control and weight loss."
• It wouldn't be a media story about health and nutrition without somebody bashing Atkins, would it?
• Lumping the Atkins diet in with other "fad diets," such as the grapefruit diet, the cellulite diet and the Pritikin diet, the story claims these only work for a limited number of people and have not had any extensive studies conducted on them to test their effectiveness.
• Not only have a myriad of tests and research been conducted on Atkins and other low-carb diets, the findings of these two scientists prove that low-carb is the best way to lose weight, maintain weight loss and get healthy again!
• Facts are facts and that's what happens.
• Is anyone going to challenge these Australian researchers on their findings?
• And now the two researchers have caused a stir with Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council because of their research results that run counter to the dietary guidelines encouraging people to eat complex carbohydrates as part of a "healthy" diet.
• "When we start to look at individuals, we see that some people won't do as well on that dietary pattern compared to high protein," said one of the researchers.
• At a time when people have chosen to shun low-carb, along comes a study that openly praises and practically endorses the low-carb lifestyle as the best nutritional approach for people who have failed at the low-fat/low-calorie diets.
