A new Harvard Chan School study shows it’s the quality—not quantity—of macronutrients that make a difference for heart health, debunking myth that modulating carbohydrate and fat intake alone is inherently beneficial.
I mean yeah, but most people will find a low-carb low-fat diet to be very unfulfilling and even depressing in a fairly short period of time.
I suspect most people could easily do it for a week or so with the right support, but as a long term health intervention I’d say 1 in 100 people can adhere to this kind of regime.
The title is very misleading. This study is saying that it does not matter if you do a low-carb or low-fat diet, it matters what the quality of the food is. Basically eat more plant-based high-quality food and less refined carbohydrates and animal fat. So go ahead and sprinkle olive oil on everything if it makes you happy.
Yes, eating to satiety makes it much easier to sustain a diet. With low carb, it helps to eat lots of healthy fat and food with lots of highly bio-available nutrients.
