There was a really good episode of "Explained" on Netflix that talked about diets. They took a study group, and gave half of them low-carb, and the other half a low-fat diet.
Both groups lost weight equally. They didn't lose weight because of that particular diet, they lost weight because they made better decisions daily, stopped eating out, and stopped buying processed foods.
- nonbel 8y agoJust cancelled my netflix this morning when I heard about another rate hike (also hadn't been using it much recently). Can you share what they meant by "low carb", how long the study ran for, and how much weight was lost? Because I can tell you one thing for sure, the reason I lost weight (and I was only slightly overweight) is because I ate less. And I ate less because I craved less food. I'm open to the idea this is due to more home cooking rather than low carb per se but I doubt it... I could possibly test this by eating some noodles or homemade pizza or something.
- nsxwolf 8y agoWhat did the study consider to be "low-carb"?
- olyjohn 8y agoI don't recall specifically, it was a TV show I watched a few weeks back. I find your question interesting, though. Why do you not care about what the low-fat diet was as well? Also, since they lost weight on the low-carb diet, I can only assume that it's one that works!
