Low fat diet is clearly the superior choice, both for long-term health and cutting weight.
>Fat has 9 kcal per gram, while protein and carbs have 7 kcal per gram. If you were going to try to reduce your calorie intake, it makes sense to start with the densest most calorie-laden macro nutrient first.
>Fat is also extremely easy to overeat. It melts in your mouth and slides right down your throat. Protein and carbs have to be chewed thoroughly and take effort to consume.
>Protein and carbs are also filling. There’s a reason why meat and potatoes, and/or fish and rice are the backbone of pretty much the entire world’s diet. It’s because they satisfy you.
>The fats that are naturally present in meat and veggies are of sufficient quantity for the body. There is literally no need to consume added fat through oil‘s or dairy.
> A low-fat diet is still recommended by the American Heart Association, despite various junk science articles attempting to sway public opinion otherwise.
Make sure to get 25g per day though. In a study, there was no benefits to testosterone for going over 25g of fat daily but it did increase test at 25g compared to 5 or less.
Jacob Hughes
this. ever since i adopted a high carb plant based diet i got leaner, feel stronger, happier, have a better sex drive. it just makes sense when you think about it. carbs get burnt, fat stays as storage.
Samuel Brooks
OP here.
Not bait at all. The science is clearly in favor of limiting your fat intake.
Recent high fat advocacy is generally backed by studies of limited sample size or weak methods. Most are not credible.
Nathaniel Davis
its hard to even get below 25, theres an amount of fat in every food
Logan Martinez
>eating carbs >2018

>Recent high fat advocacy is generally backed by studies of limited sample size or weak methods. Most are not credible. don't forget funding by the egg, dairy, and meat industry 100% retard spotted
Bentley Price
Not if you're vegan or eat lean meat. Then it helps to take some teaspoons of olive oil. Which is healthier anyway than animal fats high in Omega 6 and their estrogen is contained in the fat.
Cooper Taylor
i don't follow 1 cup of oatmeal has 12g of fat right there. I eat 4-6 cups of oatmeal per day
Ryder Clark
I don't eat oatmeal, pretty much a meme. They even have anti-androgenic properties (search oats testosterone on google).
I eat basmati rice and veggies. Those have pretty much 0g of fat. My fat comes from the occasional avocado, olive oil and coconut oil.
Dominic Foster
Btw that's not low fat lol. You start getting negative effects on insulin secretion and proper glycemic control when you pass 10g of fat in a meal.

>>A low-fat diet is still recommended by the American Heart Association
circ.ahajournals.org/content/102/18/2284.full >Although in certain individuals under physician supervision, very-low-fat diets may lead to weight loss and improved lipid profiles,143 144 145 they are not recommended for the general population for several reasons. First, results of randomized trials show that weight loss is not sustained.143 146 Second, in extreme cases, very-low-fat diets may lead to nutritional inadequacies for essential fatty acids. Third, very-low-fat diets are often associated with the use of processed low-fat foods that are calorie dense.147 Finally, in individuals with certain metabolic disorders associated with increased coronary disease risk, namely low HDL cholesterol, high triglyceride, and high insulin levels, a very-low-fat diet can amplify these abnormalities,148 149 150 and other more appropriate dietary approaches are indicated, as described above.
circ.ahajournals.org/content/106/25/3143.full.pdf >When carbohydrate is substituted for saturated fatty acids, LDL cholesterol levels fall (A2, B2). However, very high intakes of carbohydrate (>60 percent of total calories) are accompanied by a reduction in HDL cholesterol and a rise in triglyceride (B1, C1). These latter responses are sometimes reduced when carbohydate is consumed with viscous fiber (C2); however, it has not been demonstrated convincingly that viscous fiber can fully negate the triglyceride-raising or HDL-lowering actions of very high intakes of carbohydrates. >Carbohydrate intakes should be limited to 60 percent of total calories
>Do high-carbohydrate diets increase triglycerides and risk for cardiovascular disease? >Evidence from a statement released by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, panel on Detection, Evaluation, and treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (ATP III), suggests that very high intakes of carbohydrates (CHO) (greater than 60 percent of total calories) are accompanied by a rise in triglycerides.
>The recommendation by ATP III regarding dietary “Carbohydrate intakes should be limited to 60 percent of total calories. Lower intakes (e.g., 50 percent of calories) should be considered for persons with metabolic syndrome who have elevated triglycerides or low HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol).
So no they dont recommend only eating meat and vegetables
Asher Kelly
>basmati rice what about potatoes and bread?
Jacob Powell
OP here.
You used extreme examples. The AHA does not advocating for very low fat, nor does it advocate for very high carb.
Extreme diet plans will no doubt produce unintended side effects. Your citations are not relevant.
Noah Murphy
>Carbs have 7 kcal per gram Ok guys just skip this thread
Aaron Kelly
Sounds more like your just equivocating. What unconventional definition of low fat diet are you using then? Because AHA doesn't reference it.
Elijah Reyes
>>carbs and protein have 7 kcal seriously how did this thread get any responses...
>Contrary to what has been reported in the media and likely perceived by many health care professionals and consumers, the American Heart Association does not advise a low-fat diet for optimal heart health. In fact, the term “low-fat” in reference to total recommended dietary fat intake does not appear in the association’s 2006 recommendations or 2013 guidelines.
