Low-carb diet burns the most calories in small study

USA Today reports:

A new study is raising questions about the age-old belief that a calorie is a calorie.

Research from a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health finds that dieters were more successful maintaining weight on a low-carb diet than they were on a low-fat diet.

The research finds that dieters who were trying to maintain their weight loss burned significantly more calories eating a low-carb diet than they did eating a low-fat diet.
