In conclusion, our data show that a calorie restricted diet does not affect tHcy in people with T2D and obesity, despite the use of meal replacements fortified with folic acid and vitamin B12. Our data showed a negative correlation between change in tHcy levels and weight loss, suggesting that people who lost more weight (> 10 kg) showed an increase in tHcy. Future studies should explore the potential increase in tHcy induced by weight loss dieting and target the question if tHcy reduction strategies during weight loss could be clinically beneficial.
