Diets may be used in the treatment of obesity.
Descriptions of common diets
| Diet | Description |
|---|---|
| American Heart Association diet[1] | low fat |
| Dr Atkins' diet | Carbohydrate-restricted initially < 20 g of carbohydrate daily, subsequently 50 g/day |
| LEARN diet | low fat |
| Mediterranean diet[2] | moderate-fat (<35% of calories) emphasizing monounsaturated fats |
| Ornish diet | vegetarian, low fat |
| Rosemary Conley | low-fat and social support |
| Slim-Fast plan | low glycemic index |
| SouthBeach diet plan | Carbohydrate-restricted; meal replacement |
| Weight Watchers | balanced diet with social support |
| Zone diet | low-carbohydrate diet carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in 40:30:30 ratio |
The United States Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Agriculture jointly recommend:[3]
- "Keep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories."
- "Consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids"
- "Less than 300 mg/day of cholesterol"
- "Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible"
- "The Average Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates is 45 to 65 percent of total calories."
- "The recommended dietary fiber intake is 14 grams per 1,000 calories consumed."

Various alternative dietary approaches have been proposed, some of which have been compared by randomized controlled trials:
- A comparison of varying fat and protein levels found no difference on weight loss.[8] The lowest-carbohydrate group had a slightly better improvement in the HDL.
Carbohydrate-restricted (low carbohydrate) versus fat-restricted (low fat) diets
Many studies have focused on diets that reduce calories via a low-carbohydrate (Atkins diet, South Beach diet, Zone diet) diet (< 20-30 grams/day of carbohydrate) versus a low-fat diet (LEARN diet, Ornish diet). The Nurses' Health Study, an observational cohort study, found that low carbohydrate diets based on vegetable sources of fat and protein are associated with less coronary heart disease.[9]
A comparison of three diets: 1) low-fat, restricted-calorie; 2) Mediterranean, restricted-calorie; or 3) low-carbohydrate, non-restricted-calorie found:[10]
- Least weight loss occurred in the low-fat, restricted-calorie group
- More favorable effects on lipids with the low-carbohydrate diet
- More favorable effects on glycemic control with the Mediterranean diet
A meta-analysis that included older randomized controlled trials[11][12][5] (but not the two more recent studies above) found:[13]
- "low-carbohydrate, non-energy-restricted diets appear to be at least as effective as low-fat, energy-restricted diets in inducing weight loss for up to 1 year. However, potential favorable changes in triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values should be weighed against potential unfavorable changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol values when low-carbohydrate diets to induce weight loss are considered."
An older meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by the Cochrane Collaboration in 2002 concluded[14] that fat-restricted diets are no better than calorie restricted diets in achieving long term weight loss in overweight or obese people.
The Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Dietary Modification Trial[15] found that a diet of total fat to 20% of energy and increasing consumption of vegetables and fruit to at least 5 servings daily and grains to at least 6 servings daily:
- no reduction in cardiovascular disease[16]
- an insignificant reduction in invasive breast cancer[17]
- no reductions in colorectal cancer[18]
In other randomized controlled trials, a comparison of Atkins, Zone diet, Ornish diet, and LEARN diet in premenopausal women found the greatest benefit from the Atkins diet.[19]
The choice of diet for a specific person may be influenced by measuring the invididual's insulin secretion:
- In young adults "Reducing glycemic [carbohydrate] load may be especially important to achieve weight loss among individuals with high insulin secretion."[20] This is consistent with prior studies of diabetic patients in which low carbohydrate diets were more beneficial.[21][22]
Low glycemic index and low glycemic load diets
A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that low glycemic index or low glycemic load diets led to more weight loss and better lipid profiles. However, the Cochrane Collaboration grouped low glycemic index and low glycemic load diets together and did not try to separate the effects of the load versus the index.[23]
A randomized controlled trial that compared four diets that varied in carbohydrate amount and glycemic index found complicated results[24]:
- Diet 1 and 2 were high carbohydrate (55% of total energy intake)
- Diet 1 was high-glycemic index
- Diet 2 was low-glycemic index
- Diet 3 and 4 were high protein (25% of total energy intake)
- Diet 3 was high-glycemic index
- Diet 4 was low-glycemic index
Diets 2 and 3 lost the most weight and fat mass; however, low density lipoprotein fell in Diet 2 and rose in Diet 3. Thus the authors concluded that the high-carbohydrate, low-glycemic index diet was the most favorable.
High versus standard protein
There was no difference from amount of protein according to a randomized controlled trial.[25]
