Description
Summary:The less popular but older theory for obesity causation is based on consumption of a diet with increased amounts of high-glycemic index food leading to increased insulin secretion which on a short term depletes nutrients promoting excess food intake and on a long term promotes obesity due to its anabolic actions. The acceptance of Carb-O is on the rise over the past decade due to evidence showing obesity reversal associated with reduced consumption of high-glycemic index carbohydrates. [5] utilized glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (plasma insulin levels at 30 min following a standard oral glucose tolerance test) which reflects the beta-cell capacity to respond to dietary carbohydrates as measures of hyperinsulinemia.
