Those who had tried low-carb know it takes time to adjust metabolism to the new diet and two weeks is way too short of a period.
Actually, only 6 days, as each subject was given first one of the two diets (low-carb or low-fat), then the other.
Nutrition is notorious with its flawed and sponsored studies!
