A low-carb diet combined with a low-calorie diet can be one of the most effective ways to lose weight quickly, according to research. Better yet, a low-carb, low-calorie diet that's also high in protein can make weight loss even easier. Protein does a great job of helping you feel fuller for longer, which is especially helpful when cutting calories and limiting your carb intake, which in turn decreases how much fiber you're getting.

Research shows that following both a low-carb diet and a low-calorie diet is one of the most effective ways to lose weight quickly. Better yet, a low-carb, low-calorie diet that's also high in protein can help get you on the path to weight loss. While low-carb diets like the ketogenic diet and Atkins diet restrict carbs to as low as 20 grams per day, you don't have to go that low to see weight-loss benefits.
The number on the scale doesn't define you. And it might not even tell you that much about your health, either. What may be more important: body fat percentage. For years, doctors have used body mass index, or BMI, to assess your risk for obesity-related conditions, like heart disease and diabetes. It measures size based on height and weight. Body fat, on the other hand, is quantified as a percentage of your total weight.
