The main finding of a significant relationship between the low-carbohydrate-diet score (LCDS) and resting metabolic rate (RMR) is asserted in multiple places, for examples: Title: "The low-carbohydrate-diet score is associated with resting metabolic rate" Abstract Results: "RMR significantly increased across tertiles ( I p i =0.041)" Discussion: "Greater adherence to LCDS was associated with higher RMR even after adjusting for confounding variables." Dear Editor, The paper by Mohammadpour et al. "The low-carbohydrate-diet score is associated with resting metabolic rate: an epidemiologic study among Iranian adults" [[1]] describes an interesting study. [Extracted from the article]
