New study on carb restriction and metabolic syndrome

#1

I haven’t read through it yet, just looked at the pictures. This one is done by Volek, Phinney, Krauss et.al. There’s some good stuff in there about what is happening on the inside even if you can’t see it on the outside. Dig inside for the data on cholesterol [and glucose management]

Dietary carbohydrate restriction improves metabolic syndrome independent of weight loss

Thanks for sharing the article. I developed Mets after taking olanzapine. Thank goodness for keto!

GMTA!

You beat me to it, but I’m going to keep the one here in the Science forum. :slight_smile:

Looking at a few quotes from the study, it’s interesting that they did everything they could to remove weight loss and body composition changes as a cause for the improved metabolic markers:

As designed, there were no significant changes in body mass, whole-body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry…
There was no difference in VAT or liver fat after the LC, MC, and HC diets…

It’s long been claimed that weight loss, especially fat loss, is the reason low carb diets work. This study holds those factors as a constant by design to see what the carbs are doing.
