Abstract in brief

  • This network meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of different diets—moderate macronutrients (MM), low-fat high-carb (LFHC), high-fat low-carb (HFLC), and usual diet (UD)—on weight loss, BMI, and waist circumference after 12 months, finding all diets led to significant weight loss compared to usual diets.
  • HFLC diets showed a slightly greater weight loss and BMI reduction compared to MM diets, but no other significant differences were found between the diet types.
  • All diets, regardless of type, resulted in decreased waist circumference compared to usual diets, with no significant variation across dietary groups, and the overall quality of studies was moderate to high, though some bias risks were noted.]
