Plant-Based Low-Carbohydrate Diets Slow Weight Gain Compared to Animal-Based Low-Carb Diets

A new study has compared people eating low-carbohydrate diets. All groups gained weight on average, but those eating more plant-based foods and favoring whole grains instead of processed grains and sugars gained less weight than people following a diet that focused on animal products. The study used data from several large cohort studies that followed people eating a low-carbohydrate diet over four years.
