The title is very misleading. This study is saying that it does not matter if you do a low-carb or low-fat diet, it matters what the quality of the food is. Basically eat more plant-based high-quality food and less refined carbohydrates and animal fat. So go ahead and sprinkle olive oil on everything if it makes you happy.
