Low-fat diet better than low-carb one in losing weight
New Delhi, Aug 17 (ANI): A new study has suggested that cutting dietary fat is more helpful in losing weight more than narrowing the carbs. Lead author Kevin Hall of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases said that compared to the reduced-fat diet, the reduced-carb diet was particularly effective at lowering insulin secretion and increasing fat burning, resulting in significant body fat loss. Hall said that the findings counter the theory that body fat loss necessarily requires decreasing insulin, thereby increasing the release of stored fat from fat tissue and increasing the amount of fat burned by the body. In the study, the researchers studied 19 non-diabetic men and women with obesity in the Metabolic Clinical Research Unit at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The study is published in the journal Cell Metabolism.
