Suppose we use the standard dietary advice of cutting dietary fat, reducing calories but eating lots of carbohydrates and eating 6 or 7 times per day.

As we discussed earlier, in order to maintain the state of ketosis, your diet must contain less than 30 grams of carbohydrate per day, and contain an average of 60 - 70 % calories from dietary fat and 20 - 35 % calories from protein.

There are also increasing numbers of reported performance benefits of lowering dietary carbohydrate.12, 19,20 Phinney et al. 21 showed enhanced fat oxidation rates in cyclists who reduced dietary carbohydrate to less than 50 g per day and substituted calories with dietary fat over four weeks.

She tried out a variety of dietary approaches to controlling diabetes, and eventually adopted a ketogenic diet in which she restricted her intake of carbohydrates to less than 30 grams per day, and increased her intake of low - carbohydrate foods like chicken, eggs, fish, and dairy products.

Adhering to these traditional concepts the US Department of Agriculture has concluded that diets, which reduce calories, will result in effective weight loss independent of the macronutrient composition, which is considered less important, even irrelevant.14 In contrast with these views, the majority of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive» process for the body and so can lead to a «waste of calories», and therefore increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive» diets.13, 18, 19 The average human body requires 60 — 65 g of glucose per day, and during the first phase of a diet very low in carbohydrates this is partially (16 %) obtained from glycerol, with the major part derived via gluconeogenesis from proteins of either dietary or tissue origin.12 The energy cost of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and food source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action of ketosis.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) established a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for carbohydrates at 130 grams per day for adults and children.14 This is based on the minimum amount of carbohydrates (sugars and starches) required to provide the brain with an adequate supply of glucose.

The carbohydrate allowance also needs to include adequate dietary fiber, which is 25 to 38 grams per day, depending on age.

A CSIRO study published in 2015 found that both higher carbohydrate (around 220 grams carbohydrate per day) and lower carbohydrate (around 75 grams carbohydrate per day) diets produced improvements in diabetes management, but this wasn't any old «low - carb» diet — it was high in dietary fibre and unsaturated fats.

Patients have one appointment with a registered dietician in order to receive individualised dietary advice, with a focus on how to distribute carbohydrate intake over several meals and snacks, limit the intake of free sugars to less than 10 %, and increase fibre intake to up to 30 g per day.
