A popular diet book claims that a low-carbohydrate diet results in quicker weight loss and
a more healthy body than a low-fat diet.
Scientists carried out an investigation to see if this claim is true.
•
They used 120 overweight volunteers divided into two equal groups.
•
Group 1 was given a diet containing less than 20 g of carbohydrate per day.
•
Group 2 was given a low-fat diet. This contained less than 30% of energy from fat
and less than 300 mg of cholesterol per day.
•
Both groups were given the same exercise programmes and a weekly information
meeting.
•
Both groups were allowed only 2000 kilocalories per day.
