Low-fat Or Low-Carb: Which one is better for weight loss?

When it comes to losing weight, diet plays a vital role. The principle of weight loss is that someone must have to maintain a negative calories intake. Hence, energy consumption must be lower than energy expenditure. A diet low in calories is one of the ways of ensuring this negative energy balance. So, which portion of our diet should be reduced? Fat or Carbohydrate?

The DIETFITS study was done to find out that. This is an old study, not a new one. A group of healthy but overweight and obese people were enrolled for the study. They were 609 in number, however, 481 of them completed the study which was done over a span of one whole year.

Initial one month, they were told to continue doing what they were doing previously in the perspective of food intake. For the next 8 weeks, one group of the participants were told to reduce fat intake to 20 grams per day and another group to reduce carbohydrate intake to 20 grams per day. This is a hell of a restriction. So, it wouldn't be possible to maintain for a long time. After 8 weeks they were told to increase their respective food times (fat or carb) slowly to a level at which they felt that they could continue for life. However, all of them were instructed to consume many vegetables and fruits, avoid trans fat, refine carb and added sugar and avoid restaurant foods.

At the end of the year, both groups lost a similar amount of weight which was an average of 12 pounds. There weren't many differences between the two groups. Regarding lipid profile tests, LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) was significantly reduced in the low-fat group while HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) was significantly high in the low-carb group.
