Energy balance
Selective reduction of carbohydrate by ~800 kcal/d results in augmented rates of lipolysis and fat oxidation with concomitant reductions of body fat and 24 hr RQ.
Reducing carbohydrate intake significantly may enhance fat loss and metabolic rates.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The model predicts that, while keeping dietary fat and protein at baseline, selective reduction of carbohydrate by ~800 kcal/d results in augmented rates of lipolysis and fat oxidation with concomitant reductions of body fat and 24 hr RQ.
Why this rating
