A study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health suggests that low-carbohydrate diets with healthy fats and plant-based proteins contribute to slower long-term weight gain in comparison to low-carb diets with unhealthy fats and animal proteins. Using data from over 120,000 participants over a period of 32 years, the study found that low-carb diets focusing on healthy foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables were associated with less weight gain. This research highlights the importance of considering the composition of low-carb diets, emphasizing that not all low-carbohydrate diets have the same impact on long-term weight maintenance. The study was published in JAMA Network Open.
