“The risks of overweight and obesity are well known. We recognize that people are looking for realistic ways to lose weight,” said Ann Albright, PhD, RD, President, Health Care & Education, American Diabetes Association. “The evidence is clear that both low-carbohydrate and low-fat calorie restricted diets result in similar weight loss at one year. We’re not endorsing either of these weight-loss plans over any other method of losing weight. What we want health care providers to know is that it’s important for patients to choose a plan that works for them, and that the health care team support their patients’ weight loss efforts and provide appropriate monitoring of patients’ health.”
