Atkins Diet Controls Weight and Stress
Written by WTJ on October 20, 2009 – 6:32 am -
Scientists from University of South Florida and Tampa VA Hospital found that Atkins diet helps in weight control and stress management better than American diet on rats. Atkins-type diet is a diet high in animal and vegetable fat with low level of sugar. American-type diet is high in both fat and sugar. The scientists found that rats fed with low carb diet (Atkins diet) exhibited lower fear memories in response to a scary experience.
Professor David Diamond, in the Departments of Psychology, Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, University of South Florida, presented the findings at the Annual Society for Neuroscience conference in Chicago on Oct 17.
