Which is Better for Weight Loss? Some studies have found that low-carb diets are more effective for weight loss and fat loss than low-fat diets. A study published in 2014 in Annals of Internal Medicine showed that this was the case, even after a period of 12 months.
Personal preference often determines whether a low-fat or low-carb diet is easier to stick with long term. If weight loss is your goal, eat plenty of protein- and fiber-rich foods to help boost satiety and make it easier to lower your overall caloric intake.
