Acute Effects of Dietary Carbohydrate Restriction on Glycemia, Lipemia and Appetite Regulating Hormones in Normal-Weight to Obese Subjects

In this incredibly daring study they dropped carbohydrate intake from 54% of calories to 31% of calories for TWO consecutive days!

I’m ashamed to say I goofed in my original post and under reported the daringness of this trial - since corrected from “meals” to “days”. Fortunately this did not result in harm to the test subjects.

Outrageous! What about that poor donut guy, waking up earlier than he’d like? Who’s he gonna feed? #saveourdonutshops

It was, at least, a positive conclusion, which means it won’t be reported on, which is a nice change.

Don’t worry I saw the line in the drive thru for Dunkin. Unbelievable! Maybe they just wanted their coffee. :laughing:

Did not read it, but if true, should be in the “don’t show me the fake science” - category…

Unfortunately this was real science of the highest caliber, a randomized controlled crossover trial in humans. And it found a positive result. My issue is they consider 30% of calories from carbohydrate to be “dietary carbohydrate restriction” which I see as evidence of the extent of institutionalized nutritional brain washing.

Shoot, with all the crap they put in coffee these days, they might as well be eating a donut. :rage:

We should have them contact everyone on the forum! :grin:

You need to come to Melbourne and have REAL coffee!

This was a test of the effect of reduced carbohydrate on postprandial blood glucose and several other metabolic biomarkers. They tested a very modest reduction of carbohydrate, 31% of calories, as compared to a commonly recommended level of 54% replaced with protein and fat and found it beneficial. Most of us here at these ketogenic forums go much farther reducing carbohydrate to roughly 5% of calories replacing it mostly with fat and achieve much better results.
