Abstract in brief

  • The review compares low carbohydrate (CHO) diets with balanced diets in overweight and obese adults, finding little to no significant difference in weight loss or cardiovascular risk factors over periods of up to 12 years.
  • Most studies showed similar short-term weight loss regardless of diet type, and measures like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels were also similarly affected in both diet groups.
  • The evidence suggests that both diet approaches are effective for weight loss and cardiovascular risk reduction, but neither demonstrates clear superiority over the other in the long term.]

DEEEEEEEEEEEERP. Plenty of studies demonstrating a high carb low fat diet can lead to weight loss & improvements in metabolic health to similar extent as a low carb diet. Sit. Down. Bring receipts or shut it https://t.co/bsWrTcgwFa https://t.co/6wC0LqqliK

@AnthropataMMAs @KevinWGlass An individuals results are irrelevant. The research as a whole is what matters. About carbs: https://t.co/KATsm2TBs6 https://t.co/zYVFo45xQG https://t.co/GDeNjmSDI0

@radekuchytil1 @sdzhl @BajajaVasek Inzulin není sám zodpovědný za ukládání tuků, je v tom více faktorů, např. i hormon ASP, ale hlavně dlouhodobý kalorický surplus. Posílám k tomu nějaké studie, kdybyste se při neděli nudil. https://t.co/6EeVbthHn8 https://t.co/2CEttkiFI5 https://t.co/elHRLef9N7

@jojo731976 @lowcarbkatie @ProfTimNoakes Apparently you didn't read that paper. But here is a systematic review that assesed LCD v. isoenergetic balanced diets on weight and CVD risk. No differences. So again, weight management is driven by energy in/out. https://t.co/tIG4f8hxAn
