Great presentation by @DrAlanWBarclay tonight at the Western Sydney Diabetes nutrition forum
Key take-homes:
- sugar isn't causing diabetes
- reducing sugar intake causes weight loss through reduction of calories
- this can be done with intense (artificial) sweeteners safely
As far as I'm aware current best evidence supports a short-term benefit but no long-term difference for low-carb diets. Unsure if a 3-6 month improvement is enough to recommend a specific dietary pattern over anotherhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29522789/ …

Not asking about "short-term benefits." The question is "Can metabolic improvements be separated from weight loss?" The Volek team showed that they can be, although there are other studies that demonstrate similar effects with carbohydrate restriction. How do you explain this?

Well, it certainly doesn't in long-term RCTs. The fact that a single small study that fed its subjects demonstrated these benefits is less convincing to me than the many studies that have not found any such improvement
