Gary Taube's NuSI initiative tried to control for some of these factors with metabolic chambers, having subjects in a controlled environment with exact meals, etc. Still was very hard since the subjects actually burned more calories when let out of their room.
On a slightly offtopic note; the first results of NuSI have not been published but in this video, one of the researchers discusses the findings which may (or may not) come as a surprise:
_No Metabolic Advantage for Ketosis Found_

- hippich 10y agoI would argue that 4 weeks is not enough to get rid of significant insulin resistance (most sources tells that in 4 weeks is about average timeframe for body to get adapted to keto regime.) I would love to see study on keto diet and energy expenditure by body for time frames of 1 year or more.
- jacques_chester 10y agoSure, but as with the problem of small sample sizes, the root cause is usually that it is hard to get funding for large, long studies.
