hey guys, im wondering how the low fat diet works. i am doing low-carb and still tryin to keep or build muscle at the same time which i know isnt a good idea, and im doing horrible on it, i keep cheating. i keep hearing ur body needs fat to burn fat, and that u burn carbs before fat...so how does low-fat work??? Also, to make things easier...do u think doing a change-up would be a good idea for dieting...like, WEEK 1 u do low-carb, WEEK 2 u do low-fat, WEEK 3 u do SUbway, Week 4 u eat just fruit and veggies...stuff like that??? Thanks.

Fat has the highest amount of calories per gram (8g=1cal). If you limit your fat intake you will limit your total caloric intake. Calories in vs. Calories out will be decreased and you will lose weight.

Italian44 rather than look for all of these "diets" (this is your second time asking about one now) why don't you just focus on cleaning up your diet, and work from there.

low fat diets are crap, especially if you like having a lot of LBM...

I would find it difficult to go on a low fat diet and still get the protein I need.
