Fantastic article reprinted from the New York Times on diets and what's currently known about them.

I'm not too big a fan of the Atkins diet, though I know people who have been able to lose weight by following it.

I remain skeptical of much pro-Atkins publicity that originates from the Atkins camp:

• Those scientific studies that support the Atkins diet? Only a few exist, and all were funded by the Atkins folks.



• The NYT Magazine article quoted? Interesting, but getting dated (July, 2002) and stirred up a bit of controversy. See follow-up articles here and here.

I'm all for being healthy through various paths. Being informed about your chosen path(s) is always a plus.
