Researchers have stated that for losing pounds both low-fat and low-carb diets work equally well. The positive point of a low-carb diet is that it triggers the levels 'good' cholesterol.

The debate has been on for decades about low-fat diet and low-carb diet.

It remains unclear that what effect does the two diets have on your health in the long run but research shows the low-carb diet works well for short-term weight loss.

It has also been supported for long that weight loss is possible only if apart from your diet you make certain changes in lifestyle and include exercises in your routine.

This therapy is called behavioural therapy as it works by changing people's behaviour.

Researchers conducted a study in which people were divided into two groups and one took the low-carb diet and the other consumed low-fat diet. They were also on behavioural therapy.

After two years, their weight was measured and it was observed that both the groups did equally well. This means that low-carb and low-fat diet, both are effective in losing weight.
