Could that low-fat diet make you EVEN FATTER? As experts question conventional wisdom on diets, the extraordinary results of one man's experiment When most attempt to lose weight, they try the low-fat, high-carb diet But this formula is increasingly under attack Sceptics now believe you should cut down on carbs and eat more fat Personal trainer Sam put this theory to the test in a unique experiment On the high-fat diet, he lost one inch off of his middle! A major study published in the authoritative New England Journal of Medicine compared the clinical benefits of a conventional low-fat diet with two types of Mediterranean diet, which are naturally considerably higher in fat. Unique experiment: Personal trainer Sam Feltham before embarking on a trial to see if he'll lose more weight by consuming fewer carbs and more fat A few months ago, Sam upped his intake to a massive 5,000 calories every day. For three weeks he got these calories from a low-fat, high-carb diet; for another three, he ate more fat and cut right back on carbs.
