Gallstones
In the many years MD and I have treated countless obese patients with low-carb diets, we’ve never had a case of gallbladder disease. I’ve often wondered if our patients had stones but just no symptoms. Now in the light of a new study in press, it appears that dieters who lose weight on higher fat diets do not develop gallstones. So I feel on more stable ground when I say our low-carb, high-fat dieting patients probably didn’t have gallstones.
