Are low-fat or low-carb diets better for fat loss?
Neither is automatically better. Fat loss depends primarily on calorie balance. Low-fat and low-carb diets can both work when they create a sustainable calorie deficit.
Choose based on adherence, training, hunger, food preferences, health markers, and social life. Low-carb may reduce food options and training carbs for some people. Low-fat may be less satisfying for others.
The winning diet is the one that creates the needed deficit while preserving protein, fiber, micronutrients, training performance, and mental wellbeing.
