Health Tip: Spring 2004
Atkins? Weight Watchers? South Beach? Modified Low Carb? Liquid? Which diet is right for you? Recent research compared the most popular diets and had a surprising result-they ALL work. Though more rapid weight loss was seen in the low-carb/high protein diets like South Beach and Atkins, after several months the cumulative weight loss was equal for low carb and low calorie diets. The bottom line? Eat fewer calories than you expend , and you will lose weight. Exercise should be the mainstay of any weightloss plan. It improves your muscle tone, increases your basic metabolic rate, improves your body's insulin utilization and is a great stress buster! Low carb...low fat....zone....South Beach....Atkins....WeightWatchers......eat less, exercise more, and make the move toward a healthy new you!
