All trademarked or branded diet programs produce equal
weight loss if a person stays with the diet. Going it on your own can
be just as effective as a branded diet. These are the conclusions of a
meta-analysis conducted by Bradley Johnston, assistant professor of clinical
epidemiology of the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University.
The study was published in the Sept. 2, 2014, edition of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.

Johnston’s examination included 59 published articles and 48
randomized clinical trails. The research included 7,286 individuals who were
considered to be overweight or obese. The research compared weight loss at six
months and one year intervals.
Low-carbohydrate diets had an average weight loss of 19.2
pounds and low-fat diets had an average weight loss of 17.6 pounds at six
months. Both types of diets showed a slight decrease in weight at one year. The
average loss at one year was an additional 2.2 pounds and 4.4 pounds for
low-carbohydrate diets and low-fat diets respectively. There was a 3.8 pound
greater weight loss with the Adkins Diet than the Zone Diet at six months.
An average weight loss of 16 pounds in a year occurred
regardless of the brand of diet followed. The researchers explain that this is
encouraging news for people that are overweight because the findings will allow
them to opt for the diet that they are most comfortable with. The study also
debunks all the claims of any diets superiority over any other diet.
The study is unlikely to cause branded diet companies to cut
back on advertising or having celebrity spokespeople claim that their diet is
superior. The study does indicate that a self imposed diet will work just as
well as a branded diet although that option was not investigated. Even with a
weight loss of 16 pounds in a year a very obese person will spend years dieting
with any diet in hopes of avoiding diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and the
other health problems that are the result of being overweight.
