Researchers followed a group of moderately obese dieters placed on one of three diets - a Mediterranean diet; a low-carbohydrate diet based on Atkins; and a diet with 30 percent fat based on American Heart Association guidelines. The study findings determined low-carbohydrate diets were most effective.

For dieters, being able to eat a full, satisfying breakfast including carbohydrates, protein, and calories, resulted in the most weight loss in this study.  Those dieters were also to keep the weight off, their energy level throughout the day was high, and food cravings low.
