For 50 years, health guidelines focused on avoiding fats to prevent heart disease while missing the bullseye: refined carbohydrates. Now with changing health guidelines to limit sugars to less than 10% of calories and refined carbohydrates implicated in the degenerative diseases of modern civilization, consumers are shifting to Paleo, ketogenic, and low-carbohydrate diets. But what is the difference between these diets and is there science to support them? Did our ancestors really eat that way? For what conditions are they efficacious? What foundational aspect do most people following these diets not follow? Dr. Painter will discuss all these topics and more in this presentation.

Learning Objectives

After attending this session, nutrition professionals should be able to:
 

  1. Explain the fundamentals of a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet.
  2. Describe the ketogenic, low-carb, and Paleo diets.
