Abstract:

Highlights•We examined choice of low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet during a weight loss trial.•Diet choice was not associated with age, race, sex, education, BMI, or diabetes.•Diet choice was associated with habitual macronutrient intake and food preferences.•Top rated influences on diet choice were similar for those choosing either diet.•Few participants switched diets when given the option 12 weeks into intervention.
