Cover Story (view full-size image):
Carbohydrate-restrictive diets are becoming increasingly popular. Our study was the first inquiry into the dietary habits, beliefs, and experiences of people following a version of these diets, the zero-carb diet. Results revealed that a zero-carb diet involves consumption of foods that are predominately animal-sourced. Participants began the diet to improve their health and maintained it because of perceived health and wellbeing benefits attributed to the diet. A strong group identity based on adherence to the diet also emerged. Participants held strong intentions to continue the diet indefinitely, despite lack of published evidence on the diet, lack of support by health-care professionals and significant others, and stigmas attached to the diet. We recommend further research on zero-carb diets, with guidelines for healthcare professionals. View this paper
