quoting.. Cautions None of the diets discussed in this article have been studied in a controlled clinical trial for longer than one year, and no study has measured clinical outcomes such as disease-specific mortality, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. A low-carbohydrate diet that limits the intake of fruits, vegetables, and legumes cannot be endorsed, and physicians should counsel patients to exercise regularly as part of any health maintenance program.
