Effect of dietary interventions on reduction in triglycerides. Eucaloric diets of indicated carbohydrate content were begun at time 0. At week 3, a 1000 kcal reduction in energy was implemented and at week 9, dieters were put on maintenance diet. Combined effect of calorie reduction and maintenance are reported at week 12. Solid Lines: data from Krauss, et al. [58] were converted from reported log values in their Table 2 and per cent of baseline was calculated. Dashed line: data from Sharman, et al [56]: A eucaloric ketogenic diet was instituted for six weeks (no weight loss phase). Points were recorded at week 3 and 6. Figure modified from Feinman & Volek [57]. Similar results were found for HDL, apoB/apoA1 and other markers of CVD [57, 58]
