And the men and women in the study, average age 66, overweight and sedentary at the start of the study, didnít even have to restrict their portion sizes. The researchers directed them to eat as much as they wanted.

In the 12-week investigation, scientists from the Nutrition, Metabolism, and Exercise Laboratory at the University of Arkansas randomly assigned 34 participants to three different groups:

1. A diet that was high in fat (41% of calories) and fairly low in carbs (45% of calories);
2. A diet that was low in fat (18% of calories) and high in carbs (65% of calories);
3. The same low-fat, high-carb diet as the second group, plus exercise.

At the end of 12 weeks, the low-fat, high-carb dieters lost more body weight and a higher percentage of body fat than the high-fat, low-carb dieters. What's more, thigh fat area decreased in the low-fat dieters compared to the high-fat eaters.

And, as many previous studies have shown, the winning combination was diet and exercise. On average, the low-fat, high-carb group lost 7 pounds. Adding exercise to the same high-carb diet increased weight loss to 11 pounds.
