Researcher’s Summary
• We found no significant difference in overall weight loss between persons on these two diets at one year.
• Our data suggest that weight loss differences may be explained by lower caloric intake on a low carbohydrate diet.

Researcher’s Conclusions
Restriction of carbohydrate in obese persons, who may be over consuming carbohydrate at baseline, may have a favorable metabolic effect.
