2018.02.16 Metabolic Health Calculations, DIETFITS Randomized Control Trial 321 (View on Flickr.com)

Long anticipated study findings, previously reported in conference proceedings. I posted on the methods previously (see link below).

lipid changes, there are significant ones:

“The 12-month changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations significantly favored a healthy low-fat diet. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations increased significantly more and concentrations of triglycerides decreased significantly more for the healthy low-carbohydrate diet group than for the healthy low-fat diet group.”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make sense of the values in Table 3 of the paper, so I ended up going to the supplemental data to review lipid and metabolic health changes. I plotted those in the attached images.
