Which Diet Works Best for Belly Fat?

Diet Comments Off on Which Diet Works Best for Belly Fat?

Low carb or low fat? That often seems to be the discussion when it comes to losing weight. Now a new study finds that it doesn't matter when it comes to losing belly fat. Losing weight with either diet seems to help reduce your risk of heart problems. Being overweight increases your risk of heart disease, especially if the fat is accumulated in the belly above your waist.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins compared low carb diets to low fat diets, when it came to how much weight people lost and how it affected the function of their blood vessels. They found that the more belly fat people lost, the better their arteries were able to expand , allowing more blood to flow more freely "Our study demonstrated that the amount of improvement in the vessels was directly linked to how much central, or belly fat, the individuals lost, regardless of which diet they were on," says Kerry J. Stewart.Ed.D., a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "This is important since there have been concerns that a low-carb diet, which means eating more fat, may have a harmful effect on cardiovascular health. These results showed no harmful effects from the low-carb diet."

Over six months, people on a low-carb diet lost about ten pounds more, on average, than those on a low-fat diet.
