Something else that a lot of these articles leave out is that after a year, the low carbers had better cardiac profiles, specifically lower triglycerides and higher HDL, than the low fat dieters. Even if the weight loss is approximately equal, the health benefits (not to mention the lack of hunger) seem to be better with low carb making it a winner in my estimation.
