      abstract = {Vitamin D deficiency is common among individuals with  overweight and obesity, yet the impact of weight loss on  vitamin D status remains unclear. This randomized  controlled trial examined changes in serum  25‑hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations following a  six‑month high‑ or low‑carbohydrate weight‑loss  intervention. Among 119 participants, 92% were vitamin D  insufficient and 40% were deficient at baseline, with  little improvement after weight loss despite significant  reductions in weight and fat mass. Changes in 25(OH)D were  not associated with diet type or weight loss. These  findings suggest that weight loss alone does not improve  vitamin D status, highlighting the need for supplementation  among individuals with overweight or obesity, particularly  in regions with limited sun exposure.},
