What is more effective and safe in weight loss, calorie restriction or low carb diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calorie restriction : Caloric restriction works to be the best..If you can control it. But you get the best resluts by doing both; carb restriction cotributes further to your goal, especially limiting sweets and foods with high glycemic index which cause Insulin surge....The latter being a fat storage hormone which we want to keep low.
