Conclusions
weight loss, overweight/obese
In this study, we dissect the effects of calories and carbohydrates and highlight the important of carbohydrate restriction, and not solely reduced caloric intake is more important to achieve weight loss over a 12-week period. The combination of restricting carbohydrate and total calorie intake may augment the beneficial effects of reducing BMI, body weight, and metabolic risk factors among overweight/obese individuals.
