🧵 Exciting news! 🎉Our article on ultra #lowfat and ultra #lowcarb #ketogenic diet is now published in @FrontNutrition. We examined the effects of these diets on #weightloss, #bloodlipids, & #refinedgrain intake in the DIETFITS #RandomizedClinicalTrial 👉 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Criteria:

✔️#UltraLowFat diet (ULF): <15% calories from fat
✔️#Ketogenic like diet (KLD): 20-30g net carbs per day

Out of 609 participants only ~20 met ULF & KLD criteria at 3-months.
💡But that small group provided valuable insights!
