A Harvard School of Public Health study may stand dieting wisdom on its head, after low-carbohydrate dieters lost more weight than low-fat dieters despite eating 25,000 extra calories over a 12-week study period.
The findings generated national attention after Penelope Greene, a visiting scholar in the School of Public Health's Nutrition Department, presented her research last week (Oct. 13) at the annual meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The study, conducted with Walter Willett, Nutrition Department chair and Fredrick Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition, put three groups of dieters on different regimens. They included a low-fat group, a low-carbohydrate group that ate the same number of calories, and a third group on a similar low-carbohydrate plan that included 300 extra calories a day.

Here's the full story from the Harvard University Gazette ... Low-carb more effective than low-fat .. Study: Greater weight loss for low-carb dieters even when they consume more calories than low-fat dieters.
