No more need for low-carb diets?!

New research suggets that when trying to lose weight, as long as the calories are reduced, it doesn't matter where they come from! So many people cut back on fat and especially carbs but this study says you can have both, as long as you cut back on amounts. 


Researchers put people on either: 


1)average protein, low fat, and higher carbs;


2)high protein, low fat, and higher carbs; 


3)average protein, high fat and lower carbs; or 


4)high protein, high fat and lower carbs.

The reults may surprise you. There was no difference in weight loss or fat reduction across all 4 groups.
