Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: BBC: Low Carb diet good for blood pressure
Science Centric | News | Low-carb diet effective at lowering blood pressure'I expected the weight loss to be considerable with both therapies [low carb and low fat/orlistat} but we were surprised to see blood pressure improve so much more with the low-carbohydrate diet than with orlistat,' says Yancy, who says the mechanism is unclear. 'While weight loss typically induces improvements in blood pressure, it may be that the low-carbohydrate diet has an additional effect.' That physiologic effect may be the subject of future studies.
The bottom line, says Yancy, is that many diet options are proving effective at weight loss. But it's counselling patients on how to best follow the options that appears to be making the biggest impact. 'It is clear now that several diet options can work, so people can be given a choice of different ways to lose weight. But more importantly, we need to find new ways to help people maintain their new lifestyle.'Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: BBC: Low Carb diet good for blood pressure
It would be interesting to know what they consider a "low carb" diet.
