Low-carbohydrate eating has never been more popular but much confusion exists. Common questions include: What defines a low-carb eating pattern? What is the scientific evidence on the health effects of low-carb diets, particularly on weight loss and glycemic management? When are they most and least appropriate? What are the barriers for implementing a low-carb eating pattern?  What low-carb trends do we see among consumers, and how has the marketplace responded?

Please join us for a webinar to discuss the research surrounding low-carbohydrate diets, common questions and patient considerations.

Organized by the American Society for Nutrition in partnership with Tate & Lyle.  Funded by Tate & Lyle.
