Why You Gain Weight on a Low-Fat Diet

You want less fat on your body, so you should eat less fat. But remember, the key to losing body fat is creating a calorie deficit (burning more calories than your body absorbs). You can create a calorie deficit by eating foods with less protein, fat, or carbs. The easiest way to create a calorie deficit without feeling hungry is to eat more fruit, vegetables, intact whole grains, and legumes.
