Atkins diet beats rivals in weight-loss matchup - Results disappointing overall in head-to-head trial of popular eating plans

Of course none of them worked.

Duh.

They are all impossible diets that are unsustainable, as are all popular diets.

Save yourself from the diet experts. Do not follow their advice. Ever.
