Defining "low-carb" in the scientific literature : A scoping review of clinical studies
There remains a lack of scientific consensus on what level of carbohydrate intake constitutes low-carbohydrate diets. We conducted a scoping review to understand how low-carbohydrate diets were defined in the peer-reviewed literature. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement scoping review extension. Three electronic databases were searched for clinical studies in English. We identified 508 articles (317 randomized controlled, 99 cross-over, 33 before-and-after, 12 non-randomized, and 47 other clinical trials). Most examined effects of low-carbohydrate diets in healthy adults (62.4%), 40 to 59 years old (55.5%), with obesity or overweight (66.1%). The majority reported effects on weight or body composition (29.9%), diabetes (18.7%), or cardiovascular risk factors (12.9%) as primary outcomes. Most articles (56.9%) reported percent of energy from carbohydrates, and of those, 60.3% defined low-carbohydrate diets as being ≤30% of energy from carbohydrates. Some articles (22.9%) reported grams of carbohydrates per day, and of those, most defined low-carbohydrate diets as being under ∼100 grams of carbohydrates per day. Systematic reviews and dose-response meta-regressions utilizing patient-level data on carbohydrate intake, status markers (e.g., RQ/ketones), and health outcomes would be useful in informing consensus around a standardized definition.
