Plasma ketones during weight loss and weight maintenance, according to dietary treatment¹. ¹mean ± SEM. * denotes a significant difference of VLCARB from VLF and HUF (p < 0.05) by one way ANOVA at each time point for main effect of diet (p < 0.05) and post hoc Tukeys test to detect differences (p < 0.05). VLCARB = very low carbohydrate diet (n = 24) VLF = very low fat diet (n = 22) HUF = high unsaturated fat (n = 21)
