The Claim
In overweight adults with high LDL cholesterol, a low-carbohydrate diet implemented over four weeks is associated with greater improvements in LDL cholesterol levels and total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio compared to a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet over the same duration.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you're overweight and have high 'bad' cholesterol, eating fewer carbs for four weeks might help lower your bad cholesterol and improve your overall cholesterol balance better than eating low-fat, high-carb foods.
