Eating a low-fat, rather than a low-carb diet leads to a greater loss of body fat, according to US National Institutes of Health scientists.
They strictly controlled the diets of 19 people so they all had exactly the same calorie intake.
The results, presented at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, showed 67% more fat was lost on a low-fat diet than a low-carb one.
But experts questioned which diets people could stick to in real life.
The researchers said most dieters ended up cutting out a mixture of protein, carbohydrate and fat from their meals so the scientists set out to explore the relative contribution of each food type.

Sigh! I do wish they'd make their minds up! 🙄
