Effects of Low Carb Diet & Insulin Sensitivity
Switching to a low-carb diet didn't significantly impact the speaker in terms of body weight, blood sugar levels, or insulin sensitivity. Studies indicate that the initial perceived benefits of low-carb diets may be due to cutting out junk food and consuming fewer calories, leading to improved insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, the belief that cutting out carbs is essential for weight loss in insulin-resistant individuals is debunked, as research shows similar weight loss results in both insulin-resistant and insulin-sensitive populations.
