Angeline, tofi and mcsblues, please post a link to the studies you mentioned that demonstrate a low carbohydrate diet leads to greater weight loss than low fat diets for equal (or more) calories consumed. I assume the studies are published in a reputable medical journal and are from a non-profit research body such as a university.

The research referenced in the program I saw found that under controlled conditions the group of dieters on Atkins did not loose any more weight when consuming the same number of calories as those on low fat diets.

This contradicts findings of the studies to which you refer. I am interested in the credibility of these and the program I saw, if they are in fact performing the same test.
