Effects of carbohydrate-restricted diets and macronutrient replacements on cardiovascular health and body composition in adults: A meta-analysis of randomized trials Carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRDs) are widely promoted for improving cardiovascular and body composition outcomes, yet evidence remains mixed across dietary patterns, populations, and study designs.

Low-carb diets on cardiovascular health & body composition in adults: A meta-analysis of RCTs. They improved cardiovascular health and body composition, especially the diets with combined fat and protein as carb replacements yielded the most comprehensive improvements.
