This study looks at the long term effects of weight loss when subjects are no longer dieting concluding that those that had larger weight losses resulted in significantly greater reductions in LDL cholesterol.

Arterial compliance, blood pressure, plasma leptin, and plasma lipids in women are improved with weight reduction equally with a meat-based diet and a plant-based diet. Metabolism 1998; 47:1308-1314. This study examines whether diet composition during weight loss, specifically the source of dietary protein affects a number of metabolic variables.

A 6 month study examining diet composition and weight loss, in this case protein versus carbohydrate, with the interesting finding that dietary protein in an ad libitum fat-reduced diet improves weight loss.

This study examines whether low fat or high fat weight loss diets of differing fatty acid profiles affect the time course of lipid changes over a 12 week period concluding that high monounsaturated fat diets result in the most favourable changes.
