Thirty-six women aged 20-35 with a BMI of 25-30 followed a strict diet for 10 days. Researchers measured their exercise capacity, muscle energy stores, and blood markers before and after the diet. The goal was to understand how different carb levels impact physical performance and metabolism during weight loss.
