\n

Several popular diets that emphasize low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and moderate-macronutrient eating patterns are associated with moderate weight reduction and reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure at six months, according to a meta-analysis.
\nTheir research is aligned with the growing body of literature on diets to support weight loss and related cardioprotective benefits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Compared to the regular diet, low-carb diets like Atkins and Zone, and low-fat diets like Ornish, had a similar effect at six months on weight loss (4.63 v 4.37 kg, both with moderate certainty) , reduction of systolic blood pressure (5.14 mm Hg, moderate certainty v 5.05 mm Hg, low certainty) and reduction of diastolic blood pressure (3.21 v 2.85 mm Hg, both low certainty).
\nThe study also found that moderate macronutrient diets like DASH resulted in slightly less weight loss and smaller reductions in blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Low carbohydrate diets had less effect than low fat diets and moderate macronutrient diets in reducing LDL cholesterol (1.01 mg \/ dL, low certainty v 7.08 mg \/ dL, moderate certainty v 5.22 mg \/ dL, moderate certainty , respectively), but low carbohydrate diets were also associated with an increase in HDL cholesterol (2.31 mg \/ dL, low certainty).<\/p>\n

Among the popularly named diets, those with the greatest effect on weight reduction and blood pressure compared to the usual diet were Atkins (weight 5.5 kg, systolic blood pressure 5.1 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure 3, 3 mm Hg), DASH (3.6 kg, 4.7 mm Hg, 2.9 mm Hg, respectively), and Zone (4.1 kg, 3.5 mm Hg, 2.3 mm Hg, respectively) at six months (all with moderate certainty ).<\/p>\n

No diet significantly improved HDL cholesterol or C-reactive protein levels at six months.<\/p>\n

Overall, weight loss decreased at 12 months across all macronutrient patterns and popular named diets, while the cardiovascular risk factor benefits of all interventions except the Mediterranean diet essentially disappeared.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While the Mediterranean diet is beneficial, at 12 months follow-up, it even had very limited evidence of efficacy.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
