e observed in body weight (4.7 percent loss), waist circumference and percentage body fat. Measures of blood fats (total cholesterol and LDL) had also significantly improved.

"This research contributes to the growing body of evidence that an effective way to lose weight is by adhering to a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet and by being physically active. It also provides evidence that the exclusion of sucrose, as is normally advocated in a weight loss diet, is not necessary to achieve weight reduction," said researcher Dr Drummond.

The study not only highlights the need for dietary advice to accompany increased physical activity in order to achieve weight loss, but also demonstrates that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate, sucrose-containing diet combined with increased exercise can be effective for slimming.

The study and its findings appear in the August issue of International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition.
