Science Now” blog reports that National Institutes of Health researchers have found that “obese subjects on a low-fat diet lost more body fat than did those on a diet low in” carbohydrates, according to research published online in the journal Cell Metabolism. Investigators projected that over the course of “six months, subjects who stuck with a low-fat weight-loss diet would lose 6.5 pounds of body fat more than those who adhered to a diet that restricted carbs.” The 19-patient study also found that “compared with carb-restricted dieters, those on reduced-fat diets tended to burn more calories while they slept.” http://time.com/3994328/diet-low-carb-low-fat/
