Low carb or high carb: Which diet is more effective for fat loss?
When it comes to fat loss, you have two options: low carb or high carb. Which is better? We will break down the pros and cons of both diets so that you can decide which one would be best for your fat loss goals.
All diets work for fat loss as long as a caloric deficit is achieved i.e. you expend more calories than you consume resulting in a negative energy balance. In a study conducted to test which diet works better for fat loss, the results revealed that as long as calories and protein are equated, you can achieve similar results with both types of diet.
Which diet you choose is ultimately dependent on your lifestyle, eating preference, and which diet you find sustainable.
When you start working with our personal trainers, we monitor which dietary preference suits you best and over time progressively improve the quality of your food and increase protein intake to help achieve fat loss.
After years of working with our personal training clients, we found that for most Malaysians a balanced diet that allows for an equal ratio of protein, fat and carbs works best for most people.
The next time you're stressing about which diet to choose in your fat loss program, remember that the amount of calories and protein you eat plays the biggest role in your program, you can balance out carbs and fat however you like as long as it fits within your daily caloric budget.
