Studies on Low Carbohydrate

I know I might be dwelling a bit on this carbohydrate topic so I promise that I in my next article will write about something else, but I would like to point out a few studies conducted within the area of low carbohydrate diets and the effects they have had.

Method: Randomised controlled trial using 40 participants with atherogenic dyslipidemia. Participants were randomly alocated to a carbohydrate- restricted diet (%carbohydrate:fat:protein = 12:59:28) or a low-fat diet (56:24:20); both diets consisting of 1500 kcal per day. Body mass, body composition, blood samples, oral fat tolerance test and dietary intake were assessed in all participants before and after the interventions. In addition, physical activity routines were maintained throughout the study and recorded by the participants on a daily basis.

 

Conclusion: A reduction in carbohydrates for patients with type 2 diabetes effectively reduces both fasting and postprandial glucose. Therefore, advice on a 20 % carbohydrate diet with some caloric restriction to obese patients with type 2 diabetes has lasting effect on bodyweight and glycemic control. Also, there has been no evidence of a negative cardiovascular effect among the 16 subjects.
