Energy balance
The net cumulative fat imbalance was predicted to be more negative with the reduced fat diet compared to the reduced carbohydrate diet.
The effects of dietary fat reduction on fat loss may be more complex than expected.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
While enhanced fat oxidation with the reduced carbohydrate diet might be expected to lead to greater body fat loss, the net cumulative fat imbalance was predicted to be more negative with the reduced fat diet.
