Low fat diets are most effective

The low-fat diet has been put to the test in several huge randomized, controlled trials. It does not cause any weight loss over a period of 7.5 years, and has literally no positive effect on the prevention of heart disease or cancer. The low-fat diet is a huge failure, and likely a contributor to the development of many metabolic disorders. All major studies show that it doesn’t work for sustainable weight loss.
