Several decades ago, the entire population was advised to eat a low-fat, high-carb diet (1).
At the time, not a single study had demonstrated that this diet could actually prevent disease.
Since then, many high quality studies have been done, including the Women’s Health Initiative, which is the largest nutrition study in history.
The results were clear… this diet does not cause weight loss, prevent cancer OR reduce the risk of heart disease (2, 3, 4, 5).
Bottom Line: Numerous studies have been done on the low-fat, high-carb diet. It has virtually no effect on body weight or disease risk over the long term.
