Comment on Low-fat diet trims body fat better than low-carb diet

Comments

Those who had tried low-carb know it takes time to adjust metabolism to the new diet and two weeks is way too short of a period.

Actually, only 6 days, as each subject was given first one of the two diets (low-carb or low-fat), then the other.

Nutrition is notorious with its flawed and sponsored studies!

Absolutely agree! In two weeks the body is barely flushing excess water and adjusting to use ketones as a fuel source when carbohydrates aren't available. I'd love to see a study 6+ months long and with varying levels of carb reduction.
