Low Carb Weight Loss Diet Trial (3)University of Connecticut Low Carb Study (2004)Comparison of a very low-carbohydrate and low-fat diet on fasting lipids, LDL subclasses, insulin resistance, and postprandial lipemic responses in overweight womenLow Carb Study Conclusion:Compared to a low-fat weight loss diet, a short-term very low-carbohydrate diet did not lower LDL cholesterol but did prevent the decline in HDL cholesterol and resulted in improved insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese, but otherwise healthy women. Small decreases in body mass improved postprandial lipemia, and therefore cardiovascular risk, independent of diet composition. Source: |
