    Will your recirculated article on the topic of low carbs vs. low-fat diets never end either? That is "doubly annoying" to see that you can't even come up with an original article but try to pass it off as "a recent review of multiple scientific studies" each time you put it out there. By the comments that were made, you've showed this article in February and May, and now again in September. You're really right on top of things!! When will this article ever fianlly rest in peace? It certainly takes it time dying a slow death.

    My friend just gave me a great recording last month and it has completely changed my desire for healthy cooking. Before I just craved breads all the time, now I'm craving more vegetables and fresh live foods. Definitely worth your readers checking out. I first thought it was a hoax...but this stuff works! www.independentachievement.com Thanks for letting me share. Austin Price

    I thought it has been proven again and again that low carb diets, done correctly are easier to stay on, work the best in lowering cholesterol, and achieve weight loss in less time with less hunger than other diets, why are we debating this again and again? Who's getting paid? Could it be the "sugar-high fructose corn syrup-hydrogenated-oil manufacturers?" are they the new tobacco companies?

    It's True! It's all been a big Lie! Saturated fat is good for you and people with the highest cholesterol levels live the longest. Go to westonaprice.org for ore information.

    If you are on a low carb diet you do not have to eat fatty foods. You can choose to eat leaner cuts of meat. Dave http://health-pictures.com/

    After having lost 60lbs on a low-carb diet, my HDL was increased, Triglycerides were almost nil and my LDL dropped, and my blood pressure stabilized. Unfortunately, I ran into the new situation: a "fatty liver". I understand liver biopsies are considered among those in the medical world as routine, but aren't they also considered invasive? Are the really necessary? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a low-carb/fat diet instead, with a balance there somewhere? I am intolerant to carbs, so for me, there's no such thing as a low-carb diet - now I have to find them in salads, nuts, and veggies. Eating fats, however, as some of these diets encourage produces negative health effects far worse than taking too long to lose those unhealthy pounds! Isn't there a balance somewhere?

    5 years ago I went on the South Beach diet and lost 40 pounds over 6 months. This went along with increased exercise, especially, moderate running 3-4 times a week. I eliminated breads, pasta, potatoes and cereals high in carbs. In the 5 years since I have been able to keep 37 lbs off while still introducing limited carbs and continuing to exercise. It is all a mind set and a matter of determination.

    It's all about finding what works for you. If the low fat diet works, go with it. If the low carb works, go with it. If you are committied to lose weight, you will.
