HCLF = high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet; VLCHF = very-low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet.

Figure 2 Plasma Ketone Concentrations Before and After Intervention

Ketone concentration at baseline and after 8 and 24 weeks of energy restriction with an VLCHF diet (n = 45) or an HCLF diet (n = 43). *Significant time by diet interaction between the groups (P<0.001) by repeated measures analysis of variance. {dagger}p < 0.001, {ddagger}p = 0.01 significantly greater than HCLF by post-hoc comparisons at each time point with Bonferonni adjustment for 3 comparisons. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.

Figure 3 Body Weight Before and After Intervention

Body weight at baseline and after 24 weeks of energy restriction consumption of an VLCHF diet (n = 45) or an HCLF diet (n = 43). Both diets significantly different (p < 0.001) from baseline (time effect). There was no significant time by diet interaction (p > 0.05) over 24 weeks by repeated-measures analysis of variance. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
