...what should we eat? Would it be better to eat a salad or a bunless hamburger? The ?diet warriors?, while agreeing that everyone should exercise, had different views on this as well. Dean Ornish recommends a diet low in bad carbs and high in good carbs. He promotes ?a way of eating, not a diet to get on and off.? Stuart Trager of the Atkins foundation spoke of his high protein diet and Alice Lichtenstein of Tufts University said, ?the bottom line is: calories count...

The four diets also lowered the risk of heart attack, but Ornish did so a bit less effectively than the others. --By Sora Song
...USDA's Food Guide Pyramid has turned into a battleground over how much fat is good for you. On one side are those like Dr. Dean Ornish of the University of California, San Francisco, who want you to slash fat intake to 10% of daily calories.

More than a decade ago, Dr. Dean Ornish argued that meditation, along with yoga and dieting, reversed the buildup of plaque in coronary arteries.

While his results were interesting, it's important to note that those patients were also dieting and doing yoga. Jon Kabat-Zinn...

After a year, folks on the low-carb diet had regained much more weight than those on low-fat diets. And as Dr. Dean Ornish--on the opposite side of many a debate with Atkins--points out, you would expect HDL levels to go up with a low-carb diet, since HDL acts as a kind of dump truck for scavenging fatty compounds. It will also take years to determine whether low-carb diets--which stint...
