As evidências apresentadas em ensaios clínicos randomizados – estudos que podem determinar uma relação de causa e efeito – comparando dietas de baixa gordura com dietas de baixo carboidrato, em sua maioria são favoráveis às dietas de baixo carboidrato.
Mais uma vez esclarecemos que dieta de baixo carboidrato é uma designação geral, que deve ser entendida como dar preferência aos alimentos naturais em detrimento de alimentos industrializados. devemos diminuir carboidratos de alto índice glicêmico e adotar um estilo alimentar com carnes, e vegetais folhosos não açucarados, o que não é um convite para dieta hiperproteica ou gordurosa.
