Most people seem to be aware that insulin resistance is at the heart of high blood sugar and type 2 diabetes, but which is better for insulin resistance? A high fat diet or a low fat diet? In 1935, researchers conducted a study that answers this question. Researchers took people with normal blood sugars and placed them on diets with gradually increasing fat percentages and evaluated them with a glucose tolerance test with each level. The results show that the higher the fat intake, the worse the glucose tolerance. In other words, insulin resistance got worse with more fat. In this study, people on a 58% fat diet had blood sugar levels nearly double the level of blood sugar of those on a 24% fat diet. This suggests that fat contributed to insulin resistance. More recent studies indicate that it is saturated fat that really contributes to insulin resistance. So for less insulin resistance, consider reducing your saturated fat intake, and make sure you replace it with whole unprocessed food.
#insulinresistance#reversediabetes#bloodsugarcontrolHigh fat diet or low-fat diet, which is better for insulin resistance. Research showed that the higher, the fat intake, the higher the insulin resistance. Resort indicates it’s mainly the saturated fat that contributes to insulin resistance. #drshintani#reversediabetes. #insulinresistance. #bloodsugarcontrol. #reversetype2diabetes. #diabetescontrol. #insulinsensitivity. #reverseprediabetes.
