Dr A Premkumar (For the Motion)

  1. Present dietary recommendations are flawed.
  2. FAT is GOOD!
  3. The present carbohydrate intake is very high and is driving the Diabesity pandemic.
  4. Our ancestors’ diet and lifestyle hold the key for a better future.
  5. Low-carb high fat (LCHF) diet is evidence-based and safe.
  6. Lowering carbs to 40-50% is a viable option for insulin resistance driven disorders-obesity, PCOS and T2DM.

Dr Karthik Balachandran (Against the Motion)

  1. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
  2. Whether fats or carbohydrates, quality matters.
  3. LCHF is a marriage, not a casual fling.
  4. Current evidence doesn’t support the use of LCHF as a lifestyle.
