Education, adherence and whole nutritious food will do wonders for your health & weight-loss journey.
It's commonly known - or it should be commonly known - that when protein and calories are equated, the ratio of carbs and fats don't matter specifically for weight-loss. Therefore, you should go with which you prefer.
But, what really stood put for me was the fact that all participants received 22 nutritional counseling session during the 12 month trial.
They received education on how to implement either the LC or LF diet.
They were also taught how to include whole foods into their diet and to limit less nutritious foods.
At the end, majority of the successful participants reported that their relationship with food had improved significantly.
Notice that the participants were not assigned a caloric target. Instead they were encouraged to consume a diet that primarily consistent of whole foods and to prepare meals at home where possible.
If you don't like the idea of counting calories, you could try some of these simple habits:
1: Prepare most of your meals at home.
2: Eat mindfully.
3: limit added sugars.
4: Consume 5 servings of fruit & Veg per day.
5: Include a lean protein with each meal/snack
6: Limit cooking with oils
