The controversial Atkin's diet is just as effective and safe as a conventional low-fat diet, a two year study has found.
Researchers found that overweight volunteers shed more pounds on the low carbohydrate regime than they did on an orthodox calorie-controlled diet.
A Mediterranean diet with plenty of vegetables, fibre, white meat and fish was equally effective - and just as safe, they found.
The findings come from an experiment involving 322 overweight volunteers carried out by a team of Israeli, America and German scientists. Atkin's was the biggest dieting phenomena in years. At its peak around 2004, an estimated three million Britons were following it.
