Surprising results, considering the atkins diet promotes adding fat into the diet, instead of reducing fat. The study compared a low fat diet, the Atkins diet, and the Mediterranian diet.

I suppose this helps me with my decision to go on the Atkins diet. It's about getting healthy! My weight is my main concern right now. According to this study, those on the Atkins diet lost the most weight.
However, according to the study, the low-carb diet didn't do much for the women with diabetes. I don't have diabetes, but I want all my health numbers to come down.... weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels. I thought it was interesting a low carb diet will bring down cholesterol but not reduce the diabetes. I would have thought it was the other way around.
Okay then! So I'm going to start the atkins diet this coming Monday. Why start my diet on Monday? Because I've got to plan and go shopping! For the rest of this week, I'll stick to my healthy eating and exercise routine.
