Low-carb Diet

I have read the article Low-carb diet beats other diets in study on line and in the LA times and still do not completely understand what the researchers are trying to say. According to the authors Atkins regimen and a Mediterranean diet rich in fish and nuts produces slightly greater weight loss than a low-fat program recommended by American Heart Association dietary guidelines. The other factor studies was HDL (I call them the Happy Cholesterol) or the good cholesterol. It seems that people who avoid beads and pasta have a greater increase in the HDL levels. One reviewer of the study was unimpressed with the findings. I thought the best comment was made by a Nutritionist "East Less, Move More". Since my husband has re-directed his work interest (notice I did not use the term retired)he has been able to exercise more, and guess what he has lost 10 pounds in two weeks.
