Missed this keto study

Not new information but it flew under my radar. I don't know why it is not made more wide- known. Too bad a population of people on high carb/low fat were not used as a control. Impressive!

I like it. I wonder if the 84 subjects stayed on keto after the study ended,0

To me, 24 weeks is not long term - I would think measuring in YEARS is long term, but in terms of medical studies, I guess not... LOL0

Absolutely agree! Most medical studies run only a few weeks. The only longer term study that I can remember wasn't very scientific but anecdotal, involving two Nordic explorers who ate an all meat ketogenic diet for a year without any detriment to their health.0 -
I found this one to be helpful too as LCHF seems to split into those who are younger and lose faster and easier, and those older and/or with real metabolic issues that seem to slow loss.
When I see >50 women desperate to lose 50-100 pounds..and keep failing at SAD and 1200 calories I want to encourage LCHF..but often they just will NOT trust eating butter or any fats and think I am a nut case..they'd rather do 2 hours on an elliptical, and suffer with some grapes, a low cal muffin, 8 diet sodas, etc. Oh well.
Carbohydrate restriction improves the features of Metabolic Syndrome.
Metabolic Syndrome may be defined by the response to carbohydrate restriction
