Weight and Metabolic Outcomes After 2 Years on a Low-Carbohydrate Versus Low-Fat Diet
TLDR
Successful weight loss can be achieved with either a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet when coupled with behavioral treatment, and aLow- carbohydrate diet is associated with favorable changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors at 2 years. Expand
Comparative effects of three popular diets on lipids, endothelial function, and C-reactive protein during weight maintenance.

The findings support additional study in subjects with visceral obesity and the metabolic syndrome, in whom an increased risk of coronary disease at baseline may be accentuated with chronic consumption of a diet that exhibits unfavorable effects on lipids and endothelial function. Expand
Obesity epidemic: overview, pathophysiology, and the intensive care unit conundrum.
TLDR
Obesity in general is associated with increased all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality (from cardiovascular, diabetic, hepatic, and neoplastic causes), yet despite increased overall mortality rates, current evidence suggests that when patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the obesity provides some protection against mortality.
