Worth a read for anyone contemplating a low carb diet.

Long-term consumption of a carbohydrate-restricted diet does not induce deleterious metabolic effects.

The diet involved was the 'optimal diet' designed by a Dr. Jan Kwasniewski.
Here is info about the diet in English.

Apparently a person should be an optimal weight calculated by height in cm -100, so a 160cm person has an optimal weight of 60kg. For each kg of optimal weight they should eat 1gm of protein, 2.5-3.5gm fat and .08 gm of carbohydrates. The 160cm person would therefore eat 60gm protein, 150-210gm fat and 30-50gms carbs.

The section on type 1 diabetes is very interesting
