A low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet is linked to greater fat loss than a low-sugar diet, but also higher cholesterol levels
, which entails consuming most of your calories from fat and very few from carbohydrates, does lead to fat loss, but may also clog arteries and negatively affect the gut microbiome.
Another third of participants were told to eat a low-sugar diet, where “free” sugars – a type of carbohydrate found in foods such as syrups, cakes and biscuits – made up 5 per cent of their energy intake, while their non-free-sugar carbohydrate and fat intakes were 45 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively.
Meanwhile, those on the low-sugar diet lost 1 kg of fat, on average, while those on the moderate diet lost no fat. By having the participants intermittently wear movement monitors and by estimating their energy intake, the team found that the fat loss was caused by consuming fewer calories, rather than exercising more, something that was previously unclear, says Gonzalez.
