Now one study gives support to diets like the Atkins plan.
The study looked at 120 overweight volunteers-
After six months, people on the Atkins diet lost an average of 31 pounds.
Total cholesterol fell for all people in the study- and those on the Atkins diet had an increase in good cholesterol-
They also had a sharper drop in trigylcerides- that could help reduce one's risk of heart disease.
Researchers say they still can not recommend the Atkins diet broadly.
