"Research Questions Effectiveness of Low-Carb Diets for Weight Loss"

A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that not all low-carb diets are effective for weight loss, with meat-based low-carb diets potentially leading to more weight gain compared to plant-based versions. The research, which involved over 67,000 healthy participants under 65, found that diets emphasizing high-quality plant-based foods were associated with less weight gain. Experts recommend focusing on a balanced low-carb diet that includes healthy fats, lean meats, and a variety of non-starchy vegetables, and consulting with healthcare professionals before starting any diet, especially for individuals with certain health conditions.

"Study Reveals Quality Over Quantity in Low-Carb Diets Affects Long-Term Weight Loss"

The ideal low-carb diet includes a balance of non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains in moderation, and healthy fats. The study suggests that not all low-carb diets are equally effective, and the composition of the diet plays a crucial role in its success.

A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that the quality of food in low-carb diets is crucial for long-term weight management.
