Which Diet Is Best?

Nearly two-thirds of American adults are overweight, and most are anxious to do
something about it. Which begs the question: Which diet is best?

Consumer Reports recently rated Weight Watchers and the Slim-Fast programs as
tops in achieving long-term weight loss.

But in another study, published earlier this year in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, researchers compared four popular plans —
Weight Watchers, Atkins, Zone and Ornish — and found no substantial weight loss
difference at one year, with pounds lost ranging from 4.6 to 7.3.

The researchers concluded that devotion to the diet is more important than
the actual diet regimen itself.

“The more you follow the diet, the more you lose,” said Dr. Michael L.
Dansinger, of Tufts-New England Medical Center, and lead author of the
JAMA review.
