Diets work, but the brand doesn’t matter

By Kathryn Doyle NEW YORK (Reuters Health) â€" When it comes to diet programs, brand names don’t make much difference, according to a new review. Low-carb or low-fat diets resulted in the most weight loss, but despite a difference of a few pounds between groups, all the programs in the study were about equally effective, said lead author Bradley C. Johnston. “The weight loss differences between branded diet programs were small with likely little importance to those seeking to lose weight,” he told Reuters Health by email. Johnston, of the Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, said any diet program should include exercise and behavioral support.
