This Diet Helped People Lose 13 Pounds in 4 Months, Finds New Study
A new study has found that a certain diet can help people lose 13 pounds in just four months. The study, which was published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism, looked at the effects of a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet on weight loss. The study found that the diet was effective in helping people lose weight and improve their overall health.
The study included a group of 30 people who were overweight or obese. The participants were randomly assigned to either a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet or a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. The participants were asked to follow the diet for four months and were monitored for changes in their weight, body composition, and overall health.
At the end of the four-month period, the participants in the low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet group had lost an average of 13 pounds, while the participants in the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet group had lost an average of only 4 pounds. The study also found that the low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet group had improved their overall health, including lower cholesterol levels and improved blood sugar control.
The study’s authors concluded that a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet can be an effective way to lose weight and improve overall health. They also noted that the diet should be tailored to the individual’s needs and that it should be followed for at least four months to see the best results.
If you’re looking to lose weight and improve your overall health, consider trying a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. Just make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new diet or exercise program.
When it comes to losing weight, there are various options regarding meal plans and eating habits that are safe for your overall health and also offer the kind of results that will help you reach your goals.
However, some are more effective than others. Indeed, according to new research, your best bet might be to opt for a vegan diet that doesn’t focus on restricting calories but does include a fair share of legumes.
A study by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine that was recently published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics involved 244 participants who were all considered to be overweight. While some kept to their normal diets, others were asked to switch over to a low-fat vegan diet that didn’t require restricting calories.
After four months, those who stuck with a vegan diet dropped 13 pounds on average while participants who specifically consumed plenty of legumes lost weight and fat mass as well as visceral adipose tissue.

“Our research shows that the best way to improve the quality of your health is to improve the quality of the foods you eat,” noted study co-author Hana Kahleova, MD, PhD, director of clinical research at the Physicians Committee, according to EurekAlert!. “That means avoiding animal products and eating a vegan diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans.”
When it comes to why a vegan diet is so effective, Dana Ellis Hunnes, PhD, MPH, RD senior clinical dietitian at UCLA medical center, assistant professor at UCLA Fielding school of public health, tells Eat This, Not That!, “It focuses (when it’s a whole food vegan diet) on unprocessed foods that are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, plant proteins, and water content. This type of diet is very filling and satiating, so you don’t realize you’re eating fewer calories.”
On top of that, Hunnes says “these foods are anti-inflammatory, lower in calories, and help regulate hormones,” which “is good for health and weight loss.”
As for legumes, Hunnes explains that “they are incredibly high in fiber and protein which makes them very filling.” Beyond that, they also “raise your body temperature during digestion (the thermic effect of food), so you burn more calories to digest them.”
