The Carbohydrate Awareness Council is committed to encouraging health and well-being through controlled-carbohydrate nutrition.  Our guiding principles are  built on a foundation of scientific-evidence, honesty and service.

Founded in November 2003, the Carbohydrate Awareness Council promotes and supports the scientific evidence of controlled-carbohydrate nutrition.  We act together with our members in uncompromising integrity and singleness of purpose.

Our belief is that the scientific evidence supports controlled-carbohydrate nutrition for both weight loss and healthy weight management.  It is our mission to educate consumers, researchers, medical professionals and those in industry about the scientifically supported use of controlled-carb diets for weight loss and long-term weight management and health and offer it as an option where appropriate. 

We achieve our mission by:

• Uniting diverse nutritional approaches in a shared common vision and goals - weight management and health as supported by scientific evidence.  
   

• Providing our consumers a voice in our organizations recommendations to industry. 
   

• Encouraging member commitment, involvement, and mutual respect.   
   

• Offering a comprehensive range of services and programs to our members and the general public.    
   

• Advocating for the consumer and healthcare professional through speaking engagements and publishing news and analysis affecting our professional members and consumers.
   

• Championing the scientific evidence to consumers, the medical, scientific and nutrition community and public policy makers with solid research data as our foundation.
