The Key to Weight Loss Is Diet Quality, Not Quantity, a New Study Finds
Anyone who has ever been on a diet knows that the standard prescription for weight loss is to reduce the amount of
calories you consume. But a new study, published Tuesday in JAMA, may turn that advice on its head. It found that
people who cut back on added sugar, refined grains and highly processed foods while concentrating on eating plenty of
vegetables and whole foods — without worrying about counting calories or limiting portion sizes — lost significant
amounts of weight over the course of a year. The strategy worked for people whether they followed diets that were mostly low in fat or mostly low in carbohydrates. And their success did not appear to be influenced by their genetics or their
insulin-response to carbohydrates, a finding that casts doubt on the increasingly popular idea that different diets should
be recommended to people based on their DNA makeup or on their tolerance for carbs or fat.
