Low-Carb vs. Low-Calorie Diets

However, only patients who followed the low-carb diet showed a significant decrease in circulating insulin concentrations, the researchers found. The study was conducted by researchers at the Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences, University of Guelph in Ontario.

According to the study, patients following each of the two diets showed significant weight loss over a 10-week period and "nearly identical improvements in body weight and fat mass." Those on the low-fat diet, however, better preserved lean body mass.
