I am asked all the time how to most effectively lose body fat. High-protein diets drop our carb consumption, but they come with a slew of potential negative health effects described by the American Heart Association, and after 6 months on such a diet people re-gain more weight compared to any other diet (not good). Low-fat diets requires us to eat more of something other than fats, which would be either protein (not good) or carbohydrate (increases body fat) or both. Low-calorie diets keep us hungry and starve all our tissues, not just our body fat. A high-vegetable diet, on the other hand, drops our body fat while ensuring that the protein and carbohydrates we are eating enter the bloodstream slowly (because vegetables slow digestion). If half the volume of your food is vegetables, which equates to 10-20% of your calories, you will not only lose weight like the other diets, but you will build healthy tissues, increase health, and increase your potential life span. "Dieting" any other way misses the point, and is, ultimately, a dead end. I discuss this below. See my channel at YouTube.com/DrClydeWilson
