Conclusion​

This study is one of the first to investigate the metabolic effects of carbohydrate consumption on lean, healthy, and relatively young people. While for all groups, the measured markers remained in their normal ranges, there was a significant and worrying trend towards insulin resistance among people who consumed low amounts of carbohydrates. The same might have been found true for overconsumption of carbohydrates, but for the lack of statistical power. Importantly, a large recent study showed a similar U-shaped relationship between carbohydrate intake and mortality [6]. This evidence suggests that low-carb diets might be harmful to healthy people outside of the weight loss context.
