## Caption

Dr. Eric Westman (Duke University) walks through his clinical perspective on low-carb and ketogenic dieting, focusing on how he thinks carbohydrates relate to obesity, diabetes risk, and body composition. He describes the approach he teaches patients, the “why” behind his food lists, and the behavioral hurdles he says often derail adherence. Along the way, he contrasts mainstream nutrition messaging with what he reports seeing in clinic, and he shares practical examples meant to make the framework easy to follow.
