Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1466855" data-attributes="member: 196898">Agree.  The reduction in carbs causes loss of weight through depleting glucogen stores, which is mainly a water loss effect.  It will not touch the adipose fat ( aka belly fat)  and will plateau out after a couple of weeks.  Eating carbs after the diet puts this weight back on quickly, leading to yo-yo dieting.Most of us doing LCHF diet know that decreasing fat leads to [better?] weight loss, and increasing fat intake adds weight.  This is what the HF in the diet name stands for, and adjusting weight by controlling the fat intake is a primary control strategy.  So this study adds nothing to our knowledge base.As a weight loss theory it is poorly executed, and is a poorly conducted experiment.  IMHO it is not useful.Edit to add:  Just looked at the OP date, and this is quite an ancient thread, and we have had a load of new studies and reports since that have changed fundamentally the way we look at LC diets, especially wrt diabetes.  My post above shows my use of hindsight gained from this new knowledge.</blockquote>
