Study: Best Diet Is One That Works

Item: Study finds best diet is the one that works/LA Times

More Info: Two decades after the debate began on which diet is best for weight loss, a conclusion is starting to come into focus. And the winner is – not low-carb, not low-fat, not high protein, but – any diet. That is, any diet that is low in calories and saturated fats and high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables – and that an individual can stick with – is a reasonable choice for people who need to lose weight. That’s the conclusion of a study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, representing the longest, largest and most rigorous test of several popular diet strategies.

Question: Which diet has worked for you?
