Dieters who followed low-carb or low-fat plans for two years along with a lifestyle modification program lost the same amount of weight -- on average about 7% of their body weight or 15 pounds.
But throughout the two-year study, low-carbohydrate dieters had significantly increased HDL, or "good," cholesterol levels compared to low-fat dieters.“For many years there have been concerns that the low-carbohydrate approach to weight loss was bad for the heart,” he says. “This study would suggest those concerns are largely unfounded.”

For me this is another good study on the good sense a low carb diet is. Improvements all round in your general health.

Surely when you see something that says low fat it actually means high sugar! In my opinion it's best to steer clear of. You also 9 times out of 10 end up paying more both in pounds and pence and your health.
Low carb gives good figures all round you just have to stick with it.
