Low-carb beat low-fat on weight and risk factors

Randomized trials comparing a calorie-unrestricted Atkins-style high-fat diet against a calorie-restricted American Heart Association low-fat diet consistently showed the Atkins group lost more weight despite eating freely (implying calories don't really matter and that satiety comes sooner) and that their heart disease risk factors improved more — anomalous results contradicting both the overeating and the dietary-fat pillars.
