 Studies Confirm Efficacy of Low Carbohydrate, Ketogenic Diets (Journal Abstract 2 of 2) |
Added on: 9/12/2002 | Hits: 191 |
| From the Duke University and the North American Association for the Study of Obesity (NAASO), and Medscape, 2001: At the 2001 NAASO annual conference, researchers from Duke University presented the results of a six month study of the Atkins Diet. The researchers studied two groups, one of which was placed on the Atkins diet and the other of which was placed on a low fat, low calorie diet. The researchers found that the Atkins group lost significantly more weight than the low fat group and more of the weight loss was from body fat. The Atkins group also increased their HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol"), improved their HDL/Cholesterol ratio, and lowered their triglyceride levels. (Requires free registration) |

| Studies Confirm Efficacy of Low Carbohydrate, Ketogenic Diets (Journal Abstract 1 of 2) |
Added on: 9/12/2002 | Hits: 114 |
| From the University of Pennyslvania, University of Colorado, and Washington University and the North American Association for the Study of Obesity (NAASO), and Medscape, 2001: At the 2001 NAASO annual conference, researchers from three universities presented the results of a six month study of the Atkins Diet. The researchers studied two groups, one of which was placed on the Atkins diet and the other of which was placed on a low fat, low calorie diet. The researchers found that the Atkins diet group lost significantly more weight than the low fat group, raised their HDL cholesterol levels ("good cholesterol")and lowered their triglyceride levels.

| Effect of 6-month Adherence to a Very Low Carbohydrate Diet Program (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/19/2002 | Hits: 479 |
| From Duke University and The American Journal of Medicine, 2002: In this study researchers report that a study of the Atkins diet shows, "...a low-carbohydrate diet can indeed lead to significant and sustained weight loss." They placed subjects on a ketogenic, very low carb diet of less than 25 grams per day for 6 months. 80% of the participants stayed on the diet throughout the 6 months and they lost an average of 10% of their body weight which amounted to about 20 pounds. They also reported that totoal cholesterol levels decreased, LDL ("bad" cholesterol) decreased, HDL ("good cholesterol") increased, tryglycerided decreased, much to the researchers surprise. They conclude there were "no serious adverse effects..." |

| Low-Carb Diet Effective In Research Study (Press Release) |

| A Ketogenic Diet Favorably Affects Serum Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Disease in Normal-Weight Men (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/18/2002 | Hits: 190 |
| From the University of Connecticut and the Journal of Nutrition, 2002: Researchers evaluated the effects of 6 weeks of ketosis on blood lipids such as cholesterol. They found that the men in the study who were in ketosis had significantly lower triacylglycerol (-33%), lower total blood fats (-29%), and much lower insulin levels (-34%). They noted that HDL ("good cholesterol") rose (11.5%)while total cholesterol did not rise. They concluded that a short-term ketogenic diet does not have negative effect on the risk for heart disease and may, in fact, improve disorders relating to high blood fats that often lead to cardiovascular disease. |

| Effects of a Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diet with Nutritional Supplementation in Overweight Individuals (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/10/2002 | Hits: 290 |
| From Duke University and the Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2000: Researchers at Duke University studied the metabolic effects of a very low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet of less than 40 grams of carbohydrate per day with nutritional supplementation in healthy, overweight individuals for six months. They found that the diet was effective for weight loss (all subjects lost weight) and significantly improved total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and total cholesterol/HDL ratio. They concluded, "There were no clinically significant adverse affects of the diet." |

| A Review of Very Low Carbohydrate Diets for Weight Loss (Journal Abstract) |
Added on: 7/10/2002 | Hits: 598 |
| From Duke University and the Journal of Clinical Outcomes Management, 1999: A Duke professor reviewed the published medical literature regarding diets that restrict carbohydrate intake to less than 40 grams per day and thereby induce ketosis. He concluded that a very low carb diet reduced blood insulin levels, induced weight loss, and improved blood lipids in some studies. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) |
