A Research-Based Look at Which Diets Actually Work
It’s about time someone did this! Thanks to The Daily Beast for compiling the latest data on which diets actually work based on weight lost at 6 and 12 months, as well as attrition rate (after all, no diet works if you can’t stick to it!)
The winner, Volumetrics, is an approach I highly recommend for many folks, and, of the top 5, all but Atkins are what I consider to be reasonable, balanced, SUSTAINABLE ways of eating for life. (Maybe it’s because I’m more of an endurance athlete, but, I’m just pretty anti-Atkins. I do agree , however, that lowering carbs for a week or two is one way to lose some of the water weight that is stored with glycogen and slim down for a near-term event.)
