of Atkins.

I recall reading something in JAMA that said the effectiveness is actually a minus 50% because only about 1% maintain a healthy weight but 50% regain even more weight than when they started.

Could you refer me to a peer reviewed clinical study that says Atkins or any other low carb diet works?

Thanks
