Low-carb diets favoured by Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Jennifer Aniston really DO work: Scientists discover they 'may prevent diabetes'

The study by experts at Michigan University discovered three low-carbohydrate meals within 24 hours lowered insulin resistance by over 30 per cent. The phenomenon of low carbohydrate diets - minimising intake of bread, rice or pasta - has been fuelled by stars including Gwyneth Paltrow (left), Jennifer Aniston (middle) and Madonna (right).
