Low–fat diet not advisable for long term weight loss
- 2. Low fat diets have been advocated as natural weight loss solution for many years, but up till now the research has been inconclusive. However, a recent systematic review published in Lancet (Tobias et al in 2015) compared the long-term effect of low-fat and higher-fat dietary interventions on weight loss was. This meta-analysis concluded that low -fat diets are no better than low-carbohydrate or Mediterranean diets of similar intensity when it comes to weight loss sustained for at least a year. Furthermore, a review of 68,000 patients found low-carb diets led to a significantly greater weight loss, a difference of just over a kilo, compared with low-fat diets. The data clearly shows that there is no strong evidence that demonstrated that low-fat diets are not favourable for long-term weight loss. Complementary and Alternative Medicine systems like Ayurveda have stated this advice for thousands of years and provided lifestyle advice according to the individual’s biotype.
