- Restricting energy intake and increasing physical activity are common strategies for reducing obesity, but many struggle to follow them.
- Long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) may help combat obesity by suppressing appetite, improving circulation, and enhancing metabolism to promote fat burning and lean body mass.

Objective: To comprehensively compare the effects of a very low-carbohydrate, high-unsaturated/low-saturated fat diet (LC) with those of a high-unrefined carbohydrate, low-fat diet (HC) on glycemic control and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Research Design And Methods: Obese adults (n = 115, BMI 34.4 ± 4.
