Robert Lustig, MD
Physician
Real food — that is low-sugar, high-fiber —works for most of the population, but some patients may need a low-carb diet for best results. For those patients, I am totally for low-carb. I have certainly had many insulin resistant patients who didn't get better until they went on a low-carb diet. I am not remotely concerned about negative effects of low-carb. I feel that, aside from patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and type 5 hyperlipidemia, a low-carb diet is entirely safe.
