Radio Host Makes Shocking Claim About Shooting Hillary Clinton
Celebrating A TV Trailblazer
Turns out, when it comes to weight loss it doesn't matter if you're "Team Low-Carb" or "Team Low-Fat" -- you're both winners. Results recently released from a two-year study conducted by researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia found that both diets whittle that bulging waistline at similar speeds.
But if you MUST choose sides (you picky dieter, you!), you may find it interesting to know that the low-carb diet was associated with more reports of bad breath, hair loss, constipation and dry mouth in the first six to 12 months of the study.
"Even though both groups in the study lost weight and improved their overall health profile, the low-carbers reported more adverse effects because of the nutritional deficiencies in the diet," says Christy Maskeroni, MS RD, a nutritionist and private trainer at CLAY in New York City. "The nutritional breakdown of the low-fat diet (55 percent carbs, 15 percent protein, 30 percent fat) is a more sensible and balanced approach for individuals trying to lose weight."

So how effective are the diets? I'd love to read about a diet that was more effective than people who stick with it for the whole two years weighted 10 pounds less at the end of it, but a lot of people couldn't manage to stick with it.

I suffered with bad breath for about 5 years. I spent a small fortune on bad breath cures. Nothing I tried seem to work even as it said it would. I read on one of halitosis websites a review of bad breath cures and the top of the list was Oraltech Labs. I ordered their book. It worked. It doesn’t sell you any products at all, in fact it tells you to stop buying pastes, gels, washes and pills. So if you’re going through what I have, think about this and save yourself the pain and humiliation. Just Google Oraltech Labs. GL, Jenny Wilson. NB

Is this the study where the low carb group started low carb then gradually increased carbs throughout? If so, the early part of the study showed low carb as the one where most weight was lost. During the study as the low carb group increased their daily carb count their weight loss more or less equalled the other groups. And then they say all diets are the same? What if the low carb group stayed low carb??
