All diets give similar results - you just have to choose the one you find the easiest and stick to it, say Canadian scientists.
The meta-analysis processes data from 48 different studies. The research team concludes that adherence to a diet is more important than the diet itself . She added that each of them reduces calorie intake to a similar level, which explains the results.
Diets regularly go in and out of fashion, along with debates about the benefits of carbohydrate and low-calorie diets .
The researchers analyzed data from a total of 7,286 overweight people who follow a diet . It was found that after 12 months, people who are on a low-carbohydrate diet and those whose diet is low in fat , lose an average of 7, 3 kg.
According to the report, the differences are small and irrelevant to those seeking to lose weight . In this sense, you do not need to choose the most exhausting diet, but simply adhere to a certain diet.
However, the study did not track health issues such as cholesterol levels , which can vary from diet to diet.
Experts recommend that the choice of diet should be consistent with lifestyle.
The data are published in the Journal of the American Medical Association .
