Why not just reduce calories?
The 40-30-30 approach may lead to a greater decrease in body fat compared to low fat diets with same number of calories. 21. Isn’t having 30% fat in the diet too much? Research suggests it is the types of fat rather than the total amount that are important to good health. The best type of fat to add is monounsaturated fat, like olive oil, guacamole, almonds, and macadamia nuts. 22. Can I ever eat rice, pasta, or bagels again? Of course you can, but in moderation. Make sure most of your carbohydrates come from fruits and vegetables and other healthy, low-glycemic sources. The best choices for bread products include pumpernickel, stone ground whole wheat, rye and sourdough. These choices have a lower glycemic index comared to most other bread choices.
