A Low-Carbohydrate, Ketogenic Diet versus a Low-Fat Diet To Treat Obesity and Hyperlipidemia

Appendix Figure. Low-fat, low-cholesterol, reduced-calorie diet ( ) group. Low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet ( group). At week 24, the low-fat diet group included 33 rather than 34 participants because 1 participant contributed a blood specimen, but not weight measurements, at that time point. The dropout mean is the mean weight loss for each diet group's dropouts who were still in the study at that time point. The observed mean is the mean weight loss for each diet group's participants who were still in the study at that time point. The expected mean is the mean weight loss for each diet group's participants at that time point, by linear mixed-effects model analysis.
