Low carbohydrate diets improve atherogenic dyslipidemia even in
the absence of weight loss.
Feinman RD, Volek JS.
ABSTRACT: Because of its effect on insulin, carbohydrate
restriction is one of the obvious dietary choices for weight
reduction and diabetes. Such interventions generally lead to
higher levels of dietary fat than official recommendations and
have long been criticized because of potential effects on
cardiovascular risk although many literature reports have shown
that they are actually protective even in the absence of weight
loss. A recent report of Krauss et al. (AJCN, 2006) separates
the effects of weight loss and carbohydrate restriction. They
clearly confirm that carbohydrate restriction leads to an
improvement in atherogenic lipid states in the absence of
weight loss or in the presence of higher saturated fat. In
distinction, low fat diets seem to require weight loss for
effective improvement in atherogenic dyslipidemia.
