However, I have no trials data to refer back to.EDIT to add: Some sites recommend not losing more than 3 lb per week, others it is 0.5 to 2 lb per week.   Thus, a higher fat intake would seem to work in our favour by slowing weight loss, and increasing HDL, with concurrent lowering of triglycerides.  LCHF is not classed as VLCD, which is the type of diet with highest rate of weight loss.</blockquote>
