Abstract

The clinical problem of low carbohydrate diet (LCD) vs. calorie restriction (CR) has been discussed for a long time. After Atkins and Bernstein started LCD, authors et al. in Japan initiated LCD development socially through the Japan LCD Promotion Association (JLCDPA). Clinical controversies include in vitro, in vivo, type of diabetes, diabetic complications, and protocol. Medical experiments using mice for rodent species are not necessarily consistent with those of humans. Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) would be useful for diabetic research. From the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), the legacy effect has been known and will be more taken into consideration in the future.
