'In short, we believe that the most important issues about low-carbohydrate diets have now been resolved. But perhaps ***because we are ahead of the consensus on this***, we indeed find ourselves 'living in interesting times'.

en avance sur le consensus
Le consensus est un accord général avec des avis et de la solidarité.
Je sugère une traduction:
En bref, on croit que les thèmes les plus importants sur les régimes aux peu de glucides (carbohydrates) ont été résolus maintenant. Peut-être, puisqu'on va en avance sur le consensus on se retrouve dans des temporalités intéressantes.

C'est mieux de savoir écrire des hydrates de carbone ou des glucides!

J'ai trouvé qu'une temporalité est un caractère d'un temps qui se déroule, peut-être avec un développement, tandis qu'une époque est un temps important dans l'histoire. Je pense que toutes les deux sont du temps intéressant ou plein de possibilités.

English term (edited):
we are ahead of the consensus
nous sommes en avance sur notre temps
because we are ahead of the consensus on this, we indeed find ourselves 'living in interesting times'.
... nous sommes en avance sur notre temps à cet égard,
nous sommes en avance sur notre temps = we are the first to have seen the light, others will follow, same idea as "being ahead of the consensus (that will come soon)"
as for
"we ... find ourselves 'living in interesting times"
It's about the kind of "interesting times" from the curse of wishing someone to find themselves "living in interesting times" - as in: you will never get bored as problems will keep pilling up / you'll have a lot of "interesting" problems to solve ...
"... because we are ahead of the consensus on this, we indeed find ourselves 'living in interesting times'"
means roughly:
"because other people still don't agree with us they keep making our life difficult"
Personally they sound to me like self-proclaimed prophets, but that's what they say - their ideas are "the consensus that will come soon".

It's a well known routine that every new idea gets first dismissed and ridiculed, before being accepted as "evident truth" - some of them, not all.
Notice the "ahead of the consensus on this", which means their ideas are "not yet accepted, but will soon be" (at least that's what they think)
