If nothing else, the fact that the control group was "no treatment" rather than, say, an equivalent weightloss program, makes it useless as a commentary on the keto diet
Actually, that was demonstrated in a well-controlled RCT that convincingly causally determined efficacy And as I said, it was about perspective. Different diets work better for different people!

DiRECT had cherry picked participants and got what 48% "reversal".. Virta is real world with no selection criteria and got 60% same criteria. Virta never claimed to be an RCT .. you could say the control group was the 88% of the US pop with disorded metabolisms?

Hm? They both had very similar selection criteria for participants. The main difference was that DiRECT was more rigorous and had better control, making it more likely to reflect an actual difference rather than simply the biases of the study authors
