Low-carb diets win when it comes to weight loss, says new study (Video)

Sizzle a steak on the barbecue on Labor Day if you want to win your battle of the bulge, according to the results of a new study comparing low-carb diets to other weight loss plans. After evaluating 17 different studies that involved 1,141 obese patients on low-carb eating plans similar to the Atkins plan, researchers discovered that low-carb lovers lost an average of almost 18 pounds in six months to a year, reported USA Today on August 31. In addition to losing weight, these dieters whittled their waistlines and improved their blood pressure, triglycerides (blood fats), fasting blood sugar and C-reactive protein (a heart disease risk factor). They also increased their levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.

Mainstream nutrition theories have emphasized low-fat diets that are high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, with minimal if any meat. However, Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in Philadelphia, believes that it's time to change those theories. A fat loss review can help you build a clear outline of what you need to focus on to accomplish your fat reducing target if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more improve step of their weight-loss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your special weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by leading to a person's body to burn more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. After conducting research comparing a low-carb diet and a low-calorie, reduced-fat diet and discovering that both can reduce weight and improve health, he declared, "We have passed the time where we would say the Atkins diet is bad for you. That's an outdated position. This is a viable alternative for weight loss." Want to try it for yourself? Consider investing in one of these low-carb diet books:
