Low fat vs low carb for weight loss

[BrothaZay]

Which is better

 

[NatiboyB]

Depends on the type of fat and carbs I say do both. If you are eating healthy eat both.

if it’s junk I’d say carbs are worse than fats

Neither. You need both fat and carbs. It’s about the kind of carbs (fiber filled grains, veggies, fruits)you consume, and when you consume them. The same with fat—in moderation good fats (olive oil, coconut, nuts, avocado) are good for you. Keto and other low carb diets have been shown to not be sustainable in the long term and are often difficult to stick with if your really busy. The best diet is well rounded, so that your getting the nutrients you need from each group, have energy, and can sustain in the long term. Work out, eat less than you burn (unless your trying to build), cut back on processed food and sugars though.

Lower the calories.

Do it however way you want.

Everyone’s body different. There’s no exact science. I know I react better to low carb diets. Although I’m not gluten intolerant or anything like that for some reason I just can function better if I cut out carbs for a bit.

I don't know the science behind carbs and body fat. Wonder if it really makes such a big difference. Isn't it mostly calories that matter?

Carbs turn to sugar.
Excess carbs are the devil.

[The ADD]

There is virtually no difference when calories are the same with both methods.

No. Look up Jason Fung fasting carbohydrates on YouTube or just look into keto

Depends what you tolerate better.



Calories in calories out to create a deficit is the overall goal. How you wanna get there is preference


I’ll cut carbs before I’ll cut fats because protein and fats are more filling to me and I won’t go crazy the way I will if left to my devices with carbs.

My experience, low carb. After I had my son i had weight from pregnancy and from after I stopped breast feeding. I went on low carb, that weight fell off. I was strict and eating under 25 carbs a day and walked during breaks. I did this for a few months and transitioned to fasting.

CICO is all that matters.

Low carb usually works better because carbs are way easier to binge on. You probably cant stomach 1k calories worth of fat in one sitting but could easily clear that watching a movie and eating chips
