[Marie Antoinette]

I could *swear* I read the drop-out rates were reversed in an earlier article when the study first came out. I've been searching and can't find the article now. I was under the impression the low-fat drop out rate was the higher of the two...

[Mr. Mulliner]

I know that when I heard it reported it was the low-fat diet that had a higher drop-out rate. Also, about a year ago 48 Hours did a show on dieting and reported then that the Atkins diet had a lower drop-out rate than those who tried to eat just according to the nutritional pyramid (can you even call that a diet?).
