To me, the most profound bit of information coming from this study is that no one actually followed the diets strictly. As you saw, three of the other diets pretty much merged into what people were eating before. And the people on Atkins didn't really do a strict Atkins diet, although their carbs were lower and fat intake was higher.

This is important, because it shows that you do not even need to reduce carb intake by a huge amount to get a positive effect not only on weight, but metabolic effects and blood profile. If you want to improve your cholesterol and lose weight, simply go "Atkins Light" and get rid of the junk from your diet (grains, rice, sugar) and eat more meat. This study proves that this is the best way to eat, and easy to do long term. Because who doesn't like fat? And if you aren't getting fat after eating more fat, and your cholesterol is improving after eating more fat, why not eat like this?
