HCR Update from Mark Sanna: Low-Carb Diet Beneficial

People who avoid carbohydrates and eat more fat, even saturated fat, lose more body fat and have few cardiovascular risks than people who follow the low-fat diet that health authorities have favored for decades, a major new study shows. The study was financed by the National Institutes of Health and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. It included a racially diverse group of 150 men and women — a rarity in clinical nutrition studies — who were assigned to follow diets for one year that limited either the amount of carbs or fat that they could eat, but not overall calories.
