In order to achieve fat or weight loss, the body needs energy balance. There are just two ways to do this – either consume less energy (Calories) or expend more energy (via exercise).
One strategy to archive such as a caloric deficit is to increase intake of low-energy-density foods (i.e., highly nutritious, low calorie dense foods) while simultaneously decreasing intake of high-energy-density foods (such as high fat, high sugar foods).
This doesn’t mean have to give up any particular food. In fact, completely avoiding a food can lead to strong cravings that derail diet. A smarter approach is to just eat less of those high-calorie foods.
Low energy dense foods have been associated with decreased energy intake successful weight loss outcomes, and the prevention of excess weight gain.
All low calorie diets will produce weight loss in the short term and current evidence suggests that the macronutrient composition dies not play a significant role. There is no optimal macronutrient composition of weight loss diets.
