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.
