I'm not sure why they had the low-carb group choose vegetarian options for protein and oil. That's not a very common variation of low carb dieting.

I think that Atkins is really more of a combination of the low carb and the Mediterranean diet they described. I certainly eat a lot of poultry, fish, nuts and olive oil, which is what the article said was the food that set the Mediterranean diet apart from the others. Both low carb and Mediterranean had very positive outcomes.

Thanks for passing this article along!
