Highlights
• High intakes of dietary fiber and whole grains are associated with positive effects on metabolic health while diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates have negative effects on cardiometabolic health.
• Consistent evidence indicates that low fat and low carbohydrate diets at comparable energy levels have similar effects on body weight.
• No firm conclusion can be drawn regarding low carbohydrate diet and diabetes control. Short-term dietary studies with low carbohydrate diet was associated with better fasting glucose and lower Hemoglobin A1c.
