Aim: to compare a very low-carbohydrate (LC) and a low-fat (LF) diet on fasting blood lipids, LDL subclasses, postprandial lipemia, and insulin resistance in overweight and obese women. December 11, 2019 Read More

To compare the effects of a low-carbohydrate (LC) diet with those of a low-fat (LF) diet on weight loss and serum lipids in overweight adolescents December 11, 2019 Read More
Hypoenergetic very low-carbohydrate (VLC) and low-fat (LF) diets are both commonly used for short-term weight loss; however, few studies have directly compared their effect on blood lipids, with no studies to our knowledge comparing postprandial lipemia, an important independently identified cardiovascular risk factor.

To compare the effects of a low-carb, ketogenic (LCK) diet program with those of a low-fat, low-cholesterol, reduced-calorie (LFRC) diet December 11, 2019 Read More
The effects of a very-low-carbohydrate, high saturated-fat weight-loss diet on brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and markers of endothelial function are unknown. December 11, 2019 Read More
To test two competing models of the role of carbohydrate in energy expenditure (EE) – carbohydrate-insulin model (that a carb-rich diet results in body storing carb as fat) vs “a calorie is a calorie” (that diet maconutrient variation does not affect EE or body fat); to investigate whether an isocaloric low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD) is associated with changes in EE, respiratory quotient (RQ), and body composition December 11, 2019 Read More
The effects of a low-carbohydrate/ high-fat (LCHF) diet (including effects of saturated fats) on health are debated. December 11, 2019 Read More
