The articles were selected by bibliographic research in the Pubmed database, fulfilling the following criteria: randomized clinical trials using the low carb diet, published between 1998 and 2018 in Portuguese, Spanish or English. It was considered as a low carbohydrate diet, those offer macronutrient percentages equal or less than 45% or less than 130g per day. The results of the 14 articles included in this review showed difference in weight loss and a significant difference in reductions in glycated hemoglobin, fasting glucose, triglycerides and reduction of drug use, in favor of low carb diets.
