Low carb gets another boost.

1. Foster GD, Wyatt HR, Hill JO, et al. Weight and Metabolic Outcomes After 2 Years on a Low-Carbohydrate Versus Low-Fat Diet. Annals of Internal Medicine. 2010;153(3):147 -157. 

Conclusion: Successful weight loss can be achieved with either a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet when coupled with behavioral treatment. A low-carbohydrate diet is associated with favorable changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors at 2 years.

Interestingly, the low carb diet lead to a higher HDL over the low fat?
