important.

Comparing 4 popular diet approaches a year long study shows it is sticking
to a diet and not it's type that makes a difference. All lost weight but
the extremes,ie. very low carb and very low fat approaches found most
dropouts. All had risk level improvements:

I think that by saying that diets with extremes have the most dropouts, Mark
is agreeing with you.

While it's the perseverance that is ultimately important, the type of diet
is important in achieving the perseverance. So both statements are true but
incomplete. It's important to pick a diet that you can stick with, but which
diet (among the ones studied) is not very important IF you know it's one you
can stick with.

The next step is to figure out which diets are easiest to stick with when
looking at a bigger group of diets. Something like South Beach was designed
because patients had a hard time staying on Ornish in the long run, even
though the author found that diet medically sound.

Aye. Also, there's much more to a diet than how much weight you lose.
For me, the number one diet issue is what my blood glucose is doing -
I'm T2 diabetic. Then comes the effect on my blood lipids. Weight
control comes in third, even tho I'd still like to lose another 10 lbs
(I've lost 50.) Right tying with weight control is micronutrients -
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants.

You can kill yourself on low carb or you can do great on low carb. It
depends a lot on the choices you make AFTER you decide to cut the carbs
down.
