The low carbohydrate hypothesis has figured prominently on my soapbox recently. As I read more primary literature, I become more convinced that healthy eating decreases simple carbohydrates. This study adds to our database on the subject - Low-Carb Diet Reduced Weight by 10% in 6-Month Study (requires free registration). I look forward to reading the article which will appear in the July issue of the American Journal of Medicine (I'll look for it this week). The summary provides interesting data which support Atkins and the NY Times Magazine article from 2 weeks ago. I am personally trying to be more careful in my choice of carbohydrates, sticking with more complex carbohydrates, and more protein. I love scientific controversy for out of controversy we often arrive at truth!
