A member asked:
Do diets which put you into ketosis work better than lower calorie? would you see better results on low carb diets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Low-carb (high protein) diets that do not eliminate or severely restrict carbohydrates will give better results than the simple lower calorie diet. At the end of the day, however - calories in must be less than calories out for weight loss to occur!
