Comparison of Weight-Loss Diets with Different Compositions of Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The possible advantage for weight loss of a diet that emphasizes protein, fat, or carbohydrates has not been established, and there are few studies that extend beyond 1 year. METHODS: We randomly assigned 811 overweight adults to one of four diets; the targeted percentages of energy derived from fat, protein, and carbohydrates in the four diets were 20, 15, and 65%; 20, 25, and 55%; 40, 15, and 45%; and 40, 25, and 35%. The diets consisted of similar foods and met guidelines for cardiovascular health. The participants were offered group and individual instructional sessions for 2 years. The primary outcome was the change in body weight after 2 years in two-by-two factorial comparisons of low fat versus high fat and average protein versus high protein and in the comparison of highest and lowest carbohydrate content. RESULTS: At 6 months, participants assigned to each diet had lost an average of 6 kg, which represented 7% of their initial weight; they began to regain weight after 12 months. By 2 years, weight loss remained similar in those who were assigned to a diet with 15% protein and those assigned to a diet with 25% protein (3.0 and 3.6 kg, respectively); in those assigned to a diet with 20% fat and those assigned to a diet with 40% fat (3.3 kg for both groups); and in those assigned to a diet with 65% carbohydrates and those assigned to a diet with 35% carbohydrates (2.9 and 3.4 kg, respectively) (P>0.20 for all comparisons). Among the 80% of participants who completed the trial, the average weight loss was 4 kg; 14 to 15% of the participants had a reduction of at least 10% of their initial body weight. Satiety, hunger, satisfaction with the diet, and attendance at group sessions were similar for all diets; attendance was strongly associated with weight loss (0.2 kg per session attended). The diets improved lipid-related risk factors and fasting insulin levels. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of which macronutrients they emphasize. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00072995.)

“In addition, trials of low-carbohydrate diets have reported a very low incidence of urinary ketosis after 6 months,6,8,12 suggesting that in most overweight people, it is futile to sustain a low intake of carbohydrates.”

The Dietary Intake, Energy Expenditure, and Urinary Ketones section reports low detectable urinary ketones at 24 months (8.3% in the low-carbohydrate group), not at six months. Contrary to the claimed futility of sustaining low carbohydrate intake, it reports lower carbohydrate intake in that group, and the Discussion describes the diet as an effective alternative after two years.

The passage labeled Abstract reports that the greater weight loss seen at six months on a very-low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet in Foster et al. was no longer different at 12 months. It also reports that the advantage of a higher-protein diet over a conventional low-fat diet in Due et al. was not sustained at 12 months. These reported trials support the cited one-year comparison, although this paper’s own trial compared two carbohydrate-restricted diets. (LLM, conf=0.90)

The Weight Loss and Body Composition sections say that reduced-calorie diets produce weight loss and that macronutrient composition does not seem to play a major role. Our copy does not report the attributed comparison—greater loss on low-carbohydrate or high-protein diets at six months followed by convergence at twelve months.

The Weight Loss section reports significantly greater weight loss with the low-carbohydrate diet than with the low-fat diet at six months.

The Introduction reports earlier studies finding greater weight loss with very-low-carbohydrate diets after three and six months. But the Methods (Experimental Approach; no page given) say this trial tested diets for only 30 days in women and 50 days in men; it could not establish whether a six-month advantage eroded by twelve months. The citing authors’ statement that they did not confirm earlier findings is their own conclusion, not a finding of this trial. (LLM, conf=0.86)

The Weight Loss section reports greater weight loss with the low-carbohydrate diet than with the low-fat diet, consistent with an early advantage. It does not establish that this advantage eroded to near-equivalence by 12 months; it reports greater low-carbohydrate weight loss at 24 months. The citing authors’ statement that they ‘did not confirm’ earlier findings describes their own trial, not Shai et al.’s. (LLM, conf=0.84)

The Interventions section describes ongoing face-to-face or Internet contact after participants had lost weight, while the control group received newsletters without interaction with intervention staff. The Discussion reports that both intervention groups were less likely than controls to regain at least 2.3 kg over 18 months. This trial therefore supports the cited statement as one of several trials, though it does not isolate contact from the other components of the interventions. (LLM, conf=0.90)

The Introduction (page unavailable) describes diets with varied macronutrient compositions that have shown reduced cardiovascular risk factors or short-term weight loss.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
