[quote=Anonymous]Atkins and similar low/no carb diets work by ketosis -- not a healthy or sustainable process. They'll help you lose pounds on a crash basis, but they're not a long-term solution. I did have success years ago with the Zone, which is not a low-carb diet but rather a moderation diet that emphasizes eating in balance (40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat), avoiding high-glycemic-index foods like sugars and white starches, and avoiding fatty red meat. Lost 40 pounds, and while I was doing it, it melted off like nothing. Couldn't sustain it, though--over time, I couldn't stay away from the carbs or the stress eating. [/quote]
