Impact of low-carbohydrate diet on body composition: meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies
Abstract
Summary: The effect of low‐carbohydrate diet (LCD) on body composition, especially fat mass, in obese individuals remains to be elucidated. We performed a meta‐analysis to provide quantitative summary estimates of the mean change of body weight (kg) and fat mass (kg) in LCD comparing to those in control diet. Literature searches were performed using EMBASE, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library until Dec 2014. Fourteen randomized controlled studies were included in this meta‐analysis. Eight studies including very LCD (50 g carbohydrate or 10% calorie from carbohydrate) and seven studies including mild LCD (about 40% calorie from carbohydrate). Meta‐analysis carried out on data of 1416 obese individuals, showed that LCD was associated with decrease in body weight (−0.70 kg [95% CI −1.07/−0.33]) or fat mass (−0.77 kg [−1.55/−0.32]). Subgroup meta‐analysis of studies in over 12 months suggested that LCD was not associated with decrease in body weight (−0.44 kg [−0.94/0.07]), but LCD was associated with decrease in fat mass (−0.57 kg [−1.05/−0.09]). In addition, very LCD was associated with decrease in fat mass (−0.97 kg [−1.50/−0.44]), but mild LCD was not associated with decrease in fat mass (−0.43 kg [−1.15/0.33]). LCD, especially very LCD, might be effective for decrease in fat mass in obese individuals. © 2016 World Obesity

“The authors acknowledged the possibility that KD’s fat loss advantage was protein-mediated, since protein intakes in LCDs and KDs tended to be higher than those of control diets.”

In the citing paper
“Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses over the past decade have examined the effects of LCDs, unanimously showing superior weight loss to LFDs [136,138–145], with mean differences ranging 1.01–2.64 kg.”

In the citing paper
“Along similar lines, a meta-analysis by Hashimoto et al. [141] found that in >12-month studies, KDs did not result in statistically greater weight loss (0.44 kg), but fat loss was statistically significant (0.97 kg).”

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.
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.
