It's quality not quantity when it comes to weight loss
From the desk of Susan Cutshaw, M.S.
The standard recommendation for weight loss typically emphasizes some form of dietary record keeping and calorie counting. However, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) may be changing that.
In the study, participants were placed in either a low carbohydrate or low fat diet group. Both groups experienced significant weight loss over a 12-month period. Neither group limited portion sizes or counted calories. Instead, the weight loss appears to be the result of reducing added sugars, refined grains, and processed foods; while increasing vegetables, fruits, and whole foods such as nuts and legumes.
Several studies have found that reducing processed foods and moving toward a more plant-based diet not only negates the necessity of counting calories in order to lose body fat, but also significantly improves overall cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), and other health risk factors.
In other words, research strongly supports the idea that the key to weight loss and weight management is diet quality, not quantity. According to Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist and Dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, health care providers should encourage patients to move away from obsessing over calories. Avoiding processed foods made with added sugars and refined starches, like sugary beverages and bagels, will provide better and sustainable long term results.
