Common themes in weight loss
That doesn't mean that making some generalizations is out of the question. A number of approaches to weight loss are shared among many. For instance, people who are successful at keeping off lost weight don't appear to follow regimens that eliminate whole food groups or advise unusual combinations of food. And they're not reporting that they're on high-protein diets.
They mainly seem to be following high-carbohydrate plans like my friends and me, who eat plenty of vegetables and fruits and whole-grain breads and such. Consider that researchers analyzing the diets of more than 400 people in the Weight Control Registry found that about 55% of their calories come from carbohydrate, 25% from fat, and 20% from protein—very much like the calorie break-out recommended by every health-promoting organization from the Department of Agriculture to the American Dietetic Association to the American Heart Association to the National Cancer Institute.

Tried Atkins too, didn't work.

But yeah, nice to see some 'human' opinions backed up by general reseach.
