Were does it say that they were doing a study on the Atkins Diet??

lol! So when you said earlier:

"Well, you guessed wrong because, unlike you, I've read all relevant studies regarding this topic. Apparently, you spend all your time at pro low-carb sites, and it shows.

Here's another study you've probably never read: Similar weight loss with low- or high-carbohydrate diets."

you didn't mean Atkins? Did you notice that the topic at hand *IS* Atkins? If you aren't talking about Atkins then exactly WHICH low carb diet are you talking about?

When did the topic become specifically about Atkins?? The thread began with your assertion that one can lose more weight on a low-carb diet (you did not specify which one - see post 172)than on a high-carb diet even if the low-carb diet is higher in calories. You then posted two studies as "proof", but only one of the test diets is specifically identified as the "Atkins Diet"; the other is only called a "low-carbohydrate diet". In a subsequent post (#227), you presented two additional studies, but neither of the test diets is specified as the Atkins Diet; the Schneider's Children's Hospital diet is referred to as either a "controlled carbohydrate program" or a "high-protein, high-fat carbohydrate-restricted diet", and the other diet is most certainly not the Atkins Diet, but a 35% fat, "Mediterranean-style diet".

As to which low-carb diet I was referring to: very-low-carb diets in general. I don't get too caught up in the minutiae, as don't most scientifically-literate people.
