Core Viewpoint - The recent study from Harvard University reveals that the effectiveness of low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) for weight loss is highly dependent on food quality rather than merely reducing carbohydrate intake. This challenges the traditional belief that simply cutting carbs leads to weight loss [4][7][11]. Summary by Sections Study Findings - A large-scale study involving over 120,000 participants indicates that not all low-carb diets are effective for weight loss; the quality of the diet is crucial [4][5]. - Those following a high-quality low-carb diet, rich in plant proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains, showed significantly better weight maintenance compared to traditional low-carb dieters [5][7]. - Diets high in red meat and processed foods were associated with greater weight gain, even more than those on a standard diet [5][7]. Implications for Weight Management - The research suggests that for low-carb diets to be effective, individuals should prioritize high-quality sources of protein such as legumes, nuts, and fish, along with unsaturated fats like olive oil [8][11]. - The findings emphasize the importance of personalized nutrition, indicating that the effectiveness of plant-based low-carb diets varies based on individual body mass index (BMI) [9][10]. Recommendations - For overweight individuals (BMI 25-30), a diet rich in plant proteins and healthy fats can effectively slow weight gain [10][11]. - The study highlights the need for a shift in dietary guidelines, focusing on the quality of macronutrients rather than just the quantity of carbohydrates [11].

新华社伦敦8月4日电 一项4日发表在英国《自然-医学》杂志上的新研究显示，即使遵循英国官方 健康饮食建议减重，摄入超加工食品也可能阻碍减重效果。 超加工食品由食品提取物、添加剂和工业成分混合制成。这类食品通常价格低廉，且含糖含盐量较 高。低加工食品则是指仅经过清洗、切割、冷藏等简单处理的食品，如新鲜果蔬、冷藏肉类、牛奶等。 为对比不同加工程度食品对体重管理的影响，研究人员以55名英国成年人为研究对象，让他们遵循 英国官方膳食指南，分别采取为期8周基于低加工食品和超加工食品的饮食模式。两种饮食模式之间间 隔4周，其间参与者可恢复正常饮食。 结果显示，参与者在摄入低加工食品期间，平均减重1.84公斤；摄入超加工食品期间，平均减重 0.88公斤。前者几乎是后者的两倍。此外，摄入低加工食品期间，参与者的脂肪量、体脂百分比和内脏 脂肪水平均有所减少，而在摄入超加工食品期间未观察到这一变化。 目前尚不清楚两种饮食模式具体如何影响体重。研究人员推测，超加工食品可能会让人更快地进 食，从而延迟饱腹感并导致能量摄入增加；添加剂和食品加工方式也可能对肠道微生物产生影响。 研究人员表示，在英国，普通人饮食中超过一半的能量来自超加工 ...
