"Adherence is the key to long-term success for safe, effective, lasting weight loss. There is no way to predict which patients will benefit most from certain types of diets, and attempts to create an optimal patient-diet dyad can be only hypothesized based on each patient's medical and diet histories and laboratory findings. An individualized approach probably is the best solution. Caloric intake must be less than caloric expenditure to achieve weight loss. A low-carbohydrate diet combined with an exercise program can help selected patients safely achieve weight loss and improve their biochemical profiles."
