| Abstract | Low carbohydrate dieting (low carb) is popular in the paleo and ancestral diet communities. The scientific literature on the merits of this diet, however, remains contested. Examples of clinical studies showing benefits for weight loss [1] and metabolic syndrome [2] are easy to find. Likewise, studies showing negative effects, such as on exercise performance [3], also continue to be published as valid criticisms of claims made by the diet’s adherents. A meta-analysis of weight loss trials suggests that low carb dieting is as or more effective than low-fat for up to one year, at which point results converge [4]. Most clinical studies do not extend to one year, let alone the decade or more that would constitute evidence of long term effects. Furthermore, even if a low carb diet does produce more rapid weight loss than other dieting regimens, it does not necessarily follow that it is healthy; several unhealthy states can cause weight loss. |
