Low-carb v. Low-fat: How they stack up after one year*
Results....................................Low-fat.......Low-carb
Dieters at start................................68........... .64
Still on diet at one year.......................43.............44
Weight loss..........................3.1-8.4 kilos....5.1-8.7 kilos
Dietary intakes (numbers indicate deviations from the average diet)
Calories - daily..............................-97...........-510
Protein - grams daily........................+7............-11


I find it impossible that low fat dieters ate more protein, and low
carb dieters ate less protein. It is contrary to what intuition
suggests.


Did you read it wrong? I think it states the low-carb dieters ate +7 grams
more than the average diet and the low-fat dieters ate -11 grams below the
average.





Also, low fat and low carb diets are not opposites of one another, and
they both restrict most of junk food.
