Evaluation
of the metabolic effects of two weight loss diets differing in
macronutrient composition on features of dyslipidemia and post-prandial

dyslipidemia, and post-prandial INS response compared to a high
carbohydrate, low protein diet suggesting an additional benefit
beyond weight management to include augmented risk reduction for
metabolic disease (Nutrition and Metabolism) |
