1 mean ± SEM VLCARB = very low carbohydrate (n = 24) VLF = very low fat (n = 22) HUF = high unsaturated fat (n = 21) 2 Significant effect of diet by one way ANOVA and screening weight as a covariate (P = 0.022). 3 Significant effect of diet by one way ANOVA and screening weight as a covariate (P = 0.034). Variables with different superscripts are significantly different by one way ANOVA with Tukey's test for post hoc analysis p < 0.05. | |||
