The low-fat diet closely adhered to guidelines developed by the American Heart Association, in which people are counseled to eat plenty of low-fat grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes. Dietitians counseled participants to strictly limit fats and meats, to avoid sweets and fatty snacks and to keep their daily calorie intake under 1,800 a day for men and 1,500 for women.
A second group was assigned a Mediterranean diet, which had the same overall calorie limits. But these people could eat fats, mainly olive oil and nuts, in moderation. The Mediterranean dieters also ate poultry and fish but little red meat.
The low-carbohydrate group ate an Atkins diet, in which they could consume all they wanted provided very little of it was carbohydrates. Their carbs topped out at 120 grams per day, but protein and fat intake weren’t limited. The dietitians urged them to choose vegetarian foods when available. All the groups avoided trans fats.
