The relatively high-carb US dietary guidelines are considered the gold standard for dietary advice, thus it can be difficult for healthcare professionals to recommend a low-carb diet to patients.

This is our #12 published presentation from the Low Carb Denver conference. We've previously published the presentations by Gary Taubes, Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr. David Ludwig, Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Priyanka Wali, Dr. Caryn Zinn, Dr. Eric Westman, Drs.
