                                According to a 2022 meta-analysis published in *Frontiers in Nutrition*, both low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets can lead to significant weight loss within 6–12 months, indicating that it's not a simple choice between restricting carbs or just overall calories. This complex interplay between energy balance and macronutrient composition is key to understanding effective and sustainable weight management.
