Same thing for low carb versus low fat. Fewer quick calories and protein. There was a meta analysis done by Kevin Hall back in 2017 where they looked at the-- and again, actual loss of body fat.
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

if we look at studies that assess loss of body fat under controlled environments we just don't see differences between low carbon and low fat when calories are controlled calories and protein are controlled we we don't see it in fact there's actually a very small favoritism towards low fat but again I think that that's probably a data artifact and not actually a real difference

low carb does not appear to be better for fat loss than you know calorie protein equated uh diets that are not low carb but that means choose what you prefer because it's not worse
