https://www-sciencedirect-com.proxygw.wrlc.org/science/article/pii/S0167527305011666 Interesting Study: This paper reports the changes in lipoprotein subclasses in subjects enrolled in a randomized trial comparing an LCKD program to a low-fat, low-calorie diet (LFD) for weight loss over a 6-month period. The charts showing all the subclass size changes is too big but conclusion was: "We conclude that an LCKD with nutritional supplementation led to greater reductions in triglyceride and VLDL subclass levels, and greater increases in HDL-C and large LDL level compared with a low-fat, reduced calorie diet over a 6-month period."
