Study Findings:

• Four fashionable diets - including the Atkins low carb eating regime and the Ornish vegetarian diet - have only limited success in reducing weight. All four diets resulted in modest statistically significant weight loss at one year, with no statistically significant differences between diets. The average weight loss at one year was 2.1kg for Atkins, 3.2kg for Zone, 3kg for Weight Watchers and 3.3kg for Ornish.
• Weight loss depends more on sticking with a diet than the type of diet.
