A low-Carb diet is also
referred to a ketogenic
diet. In the 1920’s this
diet was used to treat
Epilepsy which could
eliminate the need for
medications. In the
present this diet is a
common method used for
treating

ogical conditions, and
other conditions.

Low carbohydrate diets in family
practice: what can we learn from
an internet based support group
Nutrition J. pp 5-26
Feinman, R.
Vernon, M.
Westman, E.
2006
This article did a survey on The Active
Low-Carber Forums website. The
forum is an online support group for
people who consider themselves
following a low-carb diet. The survey
found that most of the participants
were females with an age range of 30-
50 years old and wanting to lose 50-
100 pounds. The survey was to
determine how the diet related to
family practices, how dieters actually
ate and if the weight lost was kept off.
The study found that most
participants used there own variation
of the Atkins diet and simply replaced
starch and high sugar foods with non-
starchy vegetables, without adding
additional fat or protein. The survey
found that most kept weight off for
more than a year and while most
physicians may have been skeptical at
the beginning, become supportive
with results.

Low Carb Diet May Slow
Tumor Growth
Consumer Health,
Brink, W
2012
These researchers tested
rats with human carcinomas
to see if the low carb diet
would slow down the
growth of a human tumor.
After being tested, they
found it to be true that the
low carb diet would slow
down the growth of a
tumor. Mice fed with the
foods lower in carb also
exhibited lower glucose,
insulin and lactate levels.

10. Consensus
• The low-carb diet is fairly adequate if the dieter planned well. However, carbohydrates are our main
energy source. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65
percent of your total daily calorie intake. So if carbohydrates are cut out completely or for a significant
amount of time could give non-beneficial effects.
• A balanced diet is defined as a diet that contains adequate amounts of all the necessary nutrients required
for healthy growth and activity. There is a lot of differentiation of how low a low carb diet can be,
anywhere from 30-100grams. In general, a low carb diet is anything lower than the DRI minimum amount.
The low-carb diet could be considered imbalanced, especially if the dieter does not plan well.
• The low carb diet focuses on replacing starchy and sugary foods with non-starchy vegetables, therefore
making it a low calorie diet, as well.
• The low carb diet includes nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and dairy products.
This also allows your body to feel fuller quicker.
• This diet can include a lot of variety if the dieter is not a picky eater. The low carb diet includes various
meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, dairy, and fats and oils. You have many options for meals.
• This diet is not expensive. Foods needed could be found at your local grocery. The low carb diet would
probably cost as much as you are currently paying for groceries.
• Time management would be necessary for the low carb diet. It would not be a convenience grab-and-go
type meal, preparation and planning is needed to stay on track.
• WebMD reports that there is not enough scientific evidence to back up whether the low-carb diet truly
promotes long-term weight loss. http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20030408/jury-out-low-carb-diets
