Low-carb diet may reduce diabetes risk independent of weight loss

They wouldnt reach sarcopenia. Also...they may have collected enough data to calculate bmr. Not the purpose of the study...but it may be there. Ask them for it.

I'm involved in our own study now. Heading off to a poor country to complete our final baseline metabolic testing including miRNA.

BMR was not included and should have been the basis of the high caloric diet for either weight gain or maintenance as an outcome.

I stand by my position that it was a poor study.

They could definitely diagnosis sarcopenia if done properly.

With out getting into too many proprietary findings, bile salt conjugates could have been isolated at the end of the study to determine if skeletal muscle and adipose metabolism changed on the low carb diet.

Our team will be presenting in Nice and Montreal this August and September. I will be happy to present our abstracts later this year.

Best.
