A low-carb diet is better for your heart health and your waistline than a low-fat diet, a new study suggests.
An eating plan that reduces food such as sugary treats, pasta and bread was found to reduce more hidden fat deposits around the heart, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Israeli researchers also discovered that while people following both diets lost a similar amount of weight, those on a Mediterranean style low-carb plan had a lower waist circumference compared to those on a low-fat plan.
