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.


What a pity they did not traced protein sources too, and that way
protein quality. I suppose one might find that low-fat dieters ate more
protein (because protein is present in many high-carb meals like rice
and grains), but less complete protein.
