Any lifestyle program is as good as the people, evidence and studies supporting it over a long period. Contrary to media claims and a-priori-reasoning believes from various health "experts", a growing body of scientific research continues to support the principles of a low carb lifestyle. Because reports of many of these studies never make it into the lay press, we decided to share some of the studies with you.

LOW CARB COMPARED TO OTHER DIETS

Low-GI (glycemic) inadequate, Low-Carb diet superior for diabetes control" - December 2008

Summary:
Comparing a Low-Carb diet with 20g carbs or less daily with no calorie restriction, with a Low GI (glycemic) diet with calories restriction.

Findings:

  • Diabetes medications were either reduced or completely eliminated in 95 percent of the Low-carb diet participants compared with just 62 percent who ate a calorie-restricted low-glycemic index diet.
  • The HDL good" cholesterol in the Low-Carb group increased 5.6 compared to zero for the Low GI group.
  • The HgA1c levels dropped sharply from 8.8 percent down to 7.3 percent in the Low-carb group while there was little statistical change in the Low-Glycemic diet group dipping down from 8.3 percent to 7.8 percent.
  • Finally, despite the fact that the low-carb study participants ate more calories per day than their low-glycemic counterparts, there was greater weight loss in the Low-carb group (averaged an 11-pound reduction) versus the Low-glycemic (averaged just under a 7-pound drop).

    Comparison of the Atkins Low-Carb, Zone, Ornish, and LEARN diets - March 2007

    Summary:
    Study out of Stanford University Medical School compared four weight-loss diets among overweight premenopausal woman, representing a spectrum of low to high carbohydrate intake for effects on weight loss and related metabolic variables.

    Findings:

  • Weight loss was greater for women in the Atkins low carb diet group compared with the other diet groups at 12 months, and mean 12-month weight loss was significantly different between the Atkins and Zone diets (P<.05). Mean 12-month weight loss was as follows: Atkins, -4.7 kg (95% confidence interval [CI], -6.3 to -3.1 kg), Zone, -1.6 kg (95% CI, -2.8 to -0.4 kg), LEARN, -2.6 kg (-3.8 to -1.3 kg), and Ornish, -2.2 kg (-3.6 to -0.8 kg). Weight loss was not statistically different among the Zone, LEARN, and Ornish groups.
  • At 12 months, secondary outcomes for the Atkins group were comparable with or more favorable than the other diet groups.
  • Participants assigned to follow the low carb Atkins diet, which had the lowest carbohydrate intake, lost more than twice the weight and experienced favorable overall metabolic effects at 12 months than those assigned to follow the Zone, Ornish, or LEARN diets.

    Weight loss just as safe with better results on a Low-Carb diet compared to Low-Fat and Mediterranean Diets

    Summary:
    In this 2-year trial, 322 moderately obese subjects were randomly assigned to one of three diets: Low-fat, restricted-calorie; Mediterranean, restricted-calorie; and Low-carbohydrate, non-restricted-calorie. The Mediterranean-diet group consumed the largest amounts of dietary fiber and had the highest ratio of monounsaturated to saturated fat). The low-carbohydrate group consumed the smallest amount of carbohydrates and the largest amounts of fat, protein, and cholesterol.

    Findings:

  • The mean weight loss was 2.9 kg for the low-fat group, 4.4 kg for the Mediterranean-diet group, and 4.7 kg for the Low-carbohydrate group.
  • Among the 272 participants who completed the intervention, the mean weight losses were 3.3 kg for the low-fat group, 4.6 kg for the Mediterranean group, and 5.5 kg for the Low-Carbohydrate group.
  • The relative reduction in the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was 20% in the low-carbohydrate group and 12% in the low-fat group.

    Eating MORE saturated fat leads to LESS total saturated fat in the blood

    Summary:
    Testing the various components of metabolic syndrome comparing a low-carb diet with a low-fat diet in overweight men and women over a 12-week period. The study participants were split into one of two groups:
    A very Low-Carb ketogenic Diet - 1504 calories. Fat/Protein/Carbohydrate ratio of 59/28/12 and
    A Low-Fat diet - 1478 calories, Fat/Protein/Carbohydrate ration of 24/20/56

    Findings:

  • Total saturated fatty acids in the blood actually DECREASED in the Low Carb group while the anti-inflammatory markers also significantly decreased."
  • Meanwhile, the Low-Fat Diet group, which consumed two-thirds less saturated fat than the Low Carb group, saw an INCREASE in total saturated fat in the bloodstream despite reducing fat intake. This was totally unexpected as the conventional wisdom regarding saturated fat consumption is that it causes an increase in inflammation which leads to a worsening of the metabolic syndrome conditions and overall health. But that's not what happened.
