Abstract in brief

  • The debate over the best long-term diets for weight maintenance or loss has lasted over 50 years, with traditional diets like the Mediterranean providing better nutritional balance and health benefits compared to temporary low-carb diets.
  • A clear distinction between "low" and "high" carbohydrate and fat intake is necessary, considering individual lifestyles and body types, when discussing dietary recommendations.
  • The article examines metabolic effects of low-carb diets, especially on ketone production, and questions the practicality of slight differences in energy expenditure between these diets versus more established ones.
