An optimized low-carbohydrate diet (OLCD) plan for overweight management: An Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Controlled Study

To explore the effectiveness and safety of an Optimized Low-Carbohydrate Diet (OLCD) plan for overweight management, an open-label, non-randomized, controlled study was performed. The test group was given OLCD intervention in addition to conventional drug treatment and the control group was given only conventional drug treatment. After 42 days of intervention, the physiological and biochemical indicators of the two groups were compared. The weight, BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin and insulin resistance index of the intervention group were significantly decreased and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The OLCD overweight management program can effectively reverse insulin resistance and improve the symptoms of obesity, which is better than simply using drug treatment.
