Macro partitioning

While weight loss is similar across macronutrient groups, specific diets produce distinct improvements in cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., LDL, HDL, Triglycerides).

If you have high cholesterol or cardiovascular risk, choose a diet that aligns with your specific biomarkers. Low-fat/high-carb diets tend to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) more effectively, while high-fat/low-carb diets may raise HDL (good cholesterol) more. Since weight loss is similar across all, use your lipid profile to guide your macronutrient choice.
