Weight Loss Study Provides Hidden Clues About Diet Success

No debate in the world of weight loss has been bigger than the debate about protein, carbohydrate, and fat and the right mixture of these macronutrients for optimal weight loss. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and Louisiana State University put these questions to the test by comparing weight loss on four different diet types: (1) low-fat, average protein, (2) low-fat, high-protein, (3) high-fat, average protein, and (4) high-fat, high-protein. The low-fat diets were designed to be truly low-fat and reach a goal of 20% fat. The high-fat diets were designed to be truly high-fat and reach a goal of 40% fat. Chosen for the study was a group of about 800 unhealthy subjects, all 30-70 years of age, weighing an average of 205 pounds and having an average Body Mass Index (BMI) of 33 at the beginning of the study. (A BMI of 25 or more is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese.) On average, prior to starting the study, the group was eating a diet of 1,966 calories that was composed of 18% protein, 45% carbohydrate, and 37% fat.

Within the large amount of media attention paid to this study-and within the conclusions of the researchers themselves-a primary focus has been on calories, and on the important study finding that cutting back on calories seems to make a bigger difference in weight loss than the amount of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. We've seen headlines about this study on the Internet that read "The Kind of Diet Doesn't Matter" and "Forget Low-Fat" and "Calories Matter Most." While it is true that all four diet groups were able to lower their calorie intake by about 400-450 calories at the end of the 2-year study period, and while these calorie reductions were associated with mild-to-moderate weight loss in a way that protein, carbohydrate, and fat content were not, we still do not believe that this calorie conclusion tells the whole story about this important study.

Just as interesting to us is what really happened with protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake in the case of approximately 800 individuals who participated in the study. In a nutshell, very few of these 800 participants were able to implement either the low-fat diet guideline that was targeted in the study (20% fat) or the high-fat guideline of 40% fat. Similarly, very few were able to implement the target carb goals of 55-65% carbs in the low-fat groups and 35-45% carbs in the high-fat groups. Instead, all of the groups ended up maintaining carbs in the general range of 45-55% calories, regardless of the study guidelines. (The high-fat, high-protein group was unable to get its carbs under the 40% range as desired and the low-fat, average-protein group was unable to get its carbs up above the 60% level as desired.) Similarly all of groups ended up maintaining fat in the general range of 26-38%, once again regardless of the study guidelines. Neither of the low-fat groups were able to reach their 20% fat goal, and neither of the high-fat groups were able to reach their 40% fat goal! From our perspective, these results suggest that, on average, protein and fat and carbohydrate extremes don't work very well no matter what they are. It seems that more moderate ranges, like 45-55% carbs and 26-38% fat, are a better option.

Below is a chart showing each of the four diet groups and their protein, carbohydrate, and fat balance throughout the study.

Protein-Carbohydrate-Fat Balances

We noticed four other interesting aspects of this weight loss study. First, when it came to lowering LDL-cholesterol, the low-fat diets that hovered in the range of 26-28% fat did a better job than the high-fat diets that settled into the 33-35% range. If cholesterol reduction is a key goal along with your weight loss, a low-fat approach might give you better results. Second, fasting blood insulin levels were lowered by all of the diets except the low-fat, average protein diet that contained the highest carbohydrate content of 53-57%. Those lower carb balances, in the 45-55% range, seemed to do a better job in regulating insulin level. Third, after the first 6 months-which was the period of greatest weight loss for all groups-the average drop in calories was only 225 calories per day. While this number might seem too low to make much practical difference, it's actually a very important diet change. (After 6 months, the 225 calorie-per-day drop would mean a drop of 40,500 calories, or the equivalent of 11.6 pounds in weight.) You can take heart in knowing that while you need to lower calories to lose weight, it doesn't take an enormous calorie drop to result in significant weight loss. It just takes consistency-and that often comes from a delicious and enjoyable diet that you look forward to eating.

Finally, we noticed that only 23% of the subjects continued to lose weight after 12 months into the study. When we looked at the menus, we understood how this might be the case. We just did not see what we would call exciting, enjoyable, and delicious-tasting entrees, side dishes, and snacks in the study protocols. Mixed vegetables cooked from frozen varieties, beef roast, and graham crackers were more typical of the menus we saw. Since the largest group of participants only lost 5% of their initial weight (on average, about 10 pounds) by the end of the 2 years, we suspect that many have simply lost interest in foods that no longer continued to capture their interest and delight their taste buds. You're most likely to stick with a diet plan when you truly look forward to the food you are eating! That's been a primary principle behind our formulation of the Healthiest Way of Eating Plan.

Recommendation

When it comes to weight loss, while different people may do better or worse on different balances of protein, carbohydrate, and fat in their diet, you are usually not going to do well if you push to extremes.

This principle probably means keeping your carb intake between 45-55% of total calories, and your fat intake between 26-38%. Whether you should be at one end of the range or the other may depend on your individual health status. You need to lower your calories in order to lose weight, but on a day-by-day basis, it doesn't take a lot; for instance, 200-250 calories will usually be plenty of change. But you will need to be consistent with your decreased calorie intake, and that means developing a diet that you can truly look forward to eating. Delicious, attractive, fresh, and minimally cooked whole foods are a great way to go here, with our Healthiest Way of Eating Plan available as a good example for you to consider when thinking about diet and weight loss.

My experience was to eat less carbs and more proteins.
