kind of weight-loss diet works best, but there is precious
little scientific evidence comparing one diet to another. To
provide some real diet data, a recent Journal of the American
Medical Association (JAMA) study pitted the Atkins, Zone, LEARN,
and Ornish diets against each other in a year-long head-to-head
study. In these four diets, the amounts of allowed protein, fat,
and saturated fat are inversely proportional to the amount of
each diets carbohydrate content. Atkins is a very low carb diet,
high in protein and fat. The Zone is relatively low carb. The
LEARN (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitudes, Relationships, and
Nutrition) diet follows national dietary guidelines and is low
in fat and high in carbs.
