While extremely low-carbohydrate diets may aid short term weight loss, they have mixed effects on health markers that can contribute to heart disease risk, according to new recommendations from the National Lipid Association.

But after a year, weight loss with these diets is similar to what people can achieve with diets that allow more carbohydrates, according to the recommendations. Extremely low-carb diets can also be harder to stick with over time, and may severely restrict nutrient-dense foods that offer cardiovascular benefits, the recommendations stress.

Some people on ketogenic diets have lost two to three times more weight than individuals with different eating habits, but much of this is based on short-term results. Patients with a history of dangerously high cholesterol levels should avoid keto and extremely low-carb diets, the recommendations also note.
