Research context compiled from published sources
Reducing dietary carbohydrates lowers postprandial insulin secretion and improves insulin sensitivity. Promotes fat oxidation and, at ketogenic levels, switches primary fuel source to ketone bodies. Reduces visceral adiposity (which increases post-menopause). May improve metabolic markers including triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and blood glucose.
Moderate Research
Some human clinical trials exist, but the evidence base is still developing.
