Low-carb/high-fat diets for weight loss may actually boost risk of type 2 diabetes

A recent study conducted by Monash University and RMIT University researchers has shed light on the potential risks associated with low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets for weight loss. The study, published in the journal Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews, analyzed data from almost 40,000 Melburnians over a 17-year period.

The research found that individuals who consumed diets with a lower percentage of carbohydrates, specifically around 38%, had a 20% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those with diets consisting of 55% carbohydrates. This increased risk was attributed to the higher incidence of obesity associated with low-carbohydrate diets.

Lead researcher Distinguished Professor Barbora de Courten highlighted the importance of considering the quality of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in one’s diet. She emphasized the need for a balanced approach that includes minimally processed carbohydrates rich in fiber, healthy fats, and sufficient protein intake from sources like fish, seafood, white meat, and legumes.

The study is significant as it is the first to examine the long-term effects of low-carbohydrate diets on chronic diseases using Australian data. It challenges the conventional wisdom that low-carbohydrate diets are beneficial for managing or preventing type 2 diabetes and underscores the importance of a holistic approach to dietary choices.

The findings suggest that a Mediterranean diet, which includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods and emphasizes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, may be the optimal eating pattern to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Further research is needed to explore the relationship between diet composition and chronic diseases, but this study serves as a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation around the impact of dietary choices on long-term health outcomes.
