Brief Summary:
This is a follow-up research study to determine if there are any differences in the long-term maintenance of two diet groups the Atkins diet low-carbohydrate or the LEARN program low-fat The Atkins diet continues to get a significant amount of popular attention and very little scientific evaluation Due to the small amount of scientific data to support a low-carbohydrate diet and given the wide spread use of this type of diet it is important to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Atkins diet
We will evaluate whether there are any differences between these two groups 3-years after participation in the initial 1-year study period We will specifically assess weight cholesterol levels glucose and insulin levels and eating habits and mood as we did originally
