About This Episode:

Note: This is a Premium-exclusive episode, so in order to listen to the full episode you'll need to subscribe to Sigma Nutrition Premium.

Low-carbohydrate diets come with a list of reported benefits, and research does show benefit for a number of different outcomes. However, many influencers and advocates of low-carb diets routinely add commentary that is misleading, incorrect, and possibly dangerous. This has led to us highlighting such incorrect information on this podcast before and pushing back against central claims of the "big names" in the "low-carb community".

However, low-carbohydrate diets can indeed be a viable dietary pattern for people who wish to consume a healthy diet… provided they meet a few criteria. In other words, it is possible to consume a low-carb diet that still largely fits in with the evidence we have on healthy dietary patterns.

In this episode, Danny discusses what health outcomes may result from low-carb diets, and what distinguishes a "healthy low-carb diet" from an "unhealthy low-carb diet". This includes some pragmatic tips for nutritionists, health professionals and consumers, who are choosing to use a low-carbohydrate diet.
