Low-carbohydrate diets differing in carbohydrate restriction improve cardiometabolic and anthropometric markers in healthy adults: A randomised clinical trial
Conclusions
Low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets have a positive effect on markers of health. Adherence to the allocation of carbohydrate was more easily achieved in MCD, and LCD groups compared to VLCKD and there were comparable improvements in weight loss and waist circumference and greater improvements in HDL-c and TG with greater carbohydrate restriction.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I was surprised that LDL was higher in the low carb group than the keto group.
I found the LCD group was heavier than the other groups - they did not randomize that part well. They were about 14 kg heavier. I wonder if it had any effect.
The LCD group had BG go up a bit too. Odd!
It's a shame the group was so small...1
