    • Green tea and weight loss: the truth
      Green tea is often marketed as a weight loss product. And it is an effective supplement to aid in shedding those pounds. But some claims are misleading and can leave consumers frustrated that they’re not losing weight, as promised. So before you believe those promises, check the facts.
    • Long-Term Weight Loss An Uphill Struggle
      Only about one in every six Americans who have ever been overweight or obese loses weight and maintains that loss, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. While that number is larger than most weight-loss clinical trials report, the majority of Americans are still unable to lose weight and keep it off. Identifying those who lose weight and successfully maintain that loss may aid ...

      Like Lance Armstrong and the last-place Orioles, weight-loss pills have taken a beating in 2010. German researchers tested nine diet supplements and declared them all duds.

    'Eco-Atkins' Diet Sheds More Than Pounds – Yahoo! News

    July 4, 2009

    'Eco-Atkins' Diet Sheds More Than Pounds – Yahoo! News

    MONDAY, June 8 (HealthDay News) — A modified Atkins diet, one
    that substitutes plant-based proteins for animal-based ones, helps people
    lose weight and lowers their cholesterol, new research shows.

    “In just two weeks on the so-called 'Eco-Atkins' diet, everything
    starts to look much better metabolically … I think this becomes an
    alternative for the heart disease reduction diet, which is obviously
    appropriate for diabetes,” said Dr. David J.A. Jenkins, lead author of a
    study on the new diet appearing in the June 8 issue of the Archives of
    Internal Medicine
    .

    “Dr. Atkins challenged nutritional wisdom by suggesting high-fat,
    high-protein diets would be better than more frugal low-saturated-fat and
    low-cholesterol diets on which we've normally based therapeutic models for
    the treatment of cardiovascular disease,” explained Jenkins, who is Canada
    research chair in nutrition and metabolism at the University of Toronto
    and St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. “This seemed like a terrible thing
    to do, but he did it and showed that, providing they got the weight loss,
    all seemed to be well. But one thing we didn't notice or didn't pay much
    attention to was the fact that cholesterol levels didn't actually go down,
    even though there was spectacular weight loss on the diet.”

    Jenkins and his team sought to maintain the basic high-protein,
    low-carb ratio of the Atkins diet, but in a way that might promote
    lowering of cholesterol and other risk factors for heart disease.

    Forty-four men and women who were overweight and had high cholesterol
    were assigned to a four-week regimen of either a low-fat, low-carb,
    high-vegetable, plant-based protein diet including vegetable oil, gluten,
    soy, nuts, fruits, vegetables and cereals, or a high-carb, lacto-ovo
    (dairy and eggs only) vegetarian diet.

    Couriers delivered all meals to the participants. “They basically had
    room service, or its equivalent, in their homes,” Jenkins said.

    Participants in both groups lost the same amount of weight — 8.8
    pounds.

    The real triumph, however, was seen in the 0.6 percent greater
    reduction in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels in the group eating more
    plant-based proteins. Improvements in total cholesterol, ratios of
    proteins that adhere to fats, and blood pressure were also seen.

    Several questions remain, including whether reductions in risk factors
    will translate into less disease, whether cholesterol-lowering will also
    help with additional risk factors like insulin resistance, and, the big
    question, how well people not participating in a strictly
    controlled trial will actually be able to follow the diet.

    “It seems like a limited study in the number of people, the time
    frame… and what's advertised as low carb is still the minimum
    recommendation of 130 grams per day,” said Marianne Grant, a registered
    dietitian and health educator with the Texas A&M Health Science Center
    Coastal Bend Health Education Center in Corpus Christi. “This diet is not
    as low carb as some other diets are.”

    Also, she added, “both diets were 60 percent reduced in calories, so
    the weight loss may be coming from the deficient calories and probably the
    cholesterol benefits are coming from high fiber. It's not a bad diet, but
    it requires more research. It's much better than other low-carb diet
    because it encourages eating nuts, fruits and vegetables and portion
    control. I think that's the most important thing with weight loss.”

    Another expert had a similar reaction to the findings.

    “The study is very short-term and, in my opinion, pretty much anyone
    can lose weight in four weeks with this approach or other approaches,”
    said Renee Simon, nutritional consultant to Northern Westchester Hospital
    in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. “However, I don't really see any downside to the
    approach, although I might prefer a few other sources of protein because,
    long-term, I don't think you could sustain this with the major sources of
    protein being gluten and soy.”

    On the other hand, Molly Kimball, a sports dietitian at Ochsner Health
    Foundation in New Orleans, pointed out that many mainstream products can
    fit the bill. “It wouldn't be hard to put in things like veggie burgers or
    Special K protein that every store carries. A lot of low-carb breads have
    higher protein,” she said. “Those are easy changes you can build into your
    day.”

    Kimball added that the regimen “has no real drawbacks” and has the
    advantage of not having higher carbs. “With plant diets, people can still
    turn to high carbs. You can have a vegan diet full of white stuff,” she
    explained.

    This study was supported by the Canadian government, Canadian food
    distributor Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and the Solae Company of St. Louis, Mo.,
    which manufactures soy foods.
