Yup, it's true. If you eat a high fat diet with enough carbs and do so consistently you create the conditions she's talking about. But if you eat a high fat diet with no carbs, 225 grams of fat, 225 grams of protein, in time your insulin resistance will become minimal. So a diet that consists of 50% fat, 30% protein and 20% carbs is wrong....too much carbs. If insulin is activated you store the nutrients in fat and muscle cells and don't burn body fat.
It seems to me that the there's always new studies being done to frighten people away from a high fat diet. How can anyone ever believe what the real truth is when there are countless studies for and countless studies against? Someone is lying that's for sure?
I can't find the study they refer to... but it's a known fact that most "high fat" diets researchers use are also high carb, and often high sugar. It's certainly true when they test rats.
Also, they do have a vested interest in keeping you eating carbs and low-fat ... that way you stay fat and pay for their surgeries... Follow the money ...
BTW, the published report makes no suggestion that this was a high-fat diet--except in the very final paragraph, where they ask for more money (for further research).
According to table 2 in the report, the participants consumed more than half a pound of sugar (in various chemical forms), each day! So, it would probably be best to characterize this as a HIGH-SUGAR diet. It's no wonder they started to develop insulin resistance after only 4 weeks!
You have to read the report carefully, and know something about sugar chemistry, in order to realize just how much sugar the participants consumed! The information is buried in table 2, under the heading, "Mono- and disaccharides, g/day." Shame on the authors for not mentioning this critical piece of information in the abstract (or anywhere else in the paper).
As usual, the reporter got it completely wrong. According to the report (Mol Med. 2009 JulAug; 15(7-8): 228234), the average consumed by the participants was 37% fat, 47% carbohydrate, and 15% protein. That's a HIGH-CARBOHYDRATE diet, not a "high-fat" diet. As MrTrashcan1 stated, it is the glucose that is responsible for the insulin resistance, which comes from the refined carbs.
If you want high-fat, try 60% or 70% fat, which is what I eat.
As usual we are never told exactly what the "very high fat diet" consisted of. And naturally, declarative statements like "high fat leads to insulin resistance" are simply made without any details of the actual biochemical or physiological mechanisms responsible. Truth is glucose is solely responsible for insulin resistance, and I'd wager my life savings that the diet those kids ate was actually low in saturated (animal) fat, and high in carbs, much of which was cooked in unsaturated fat.
@MrTrashcan1 Well, although glucose is ultimately responsible for peripheral insulin resistance, high blood glucose levels are induced by other factors such as dyslipidemia which cause hepatic insulin resistance. There is plenty of basic biochemical science to support this.
I think they have corrected for the carb portion in the study - not to do so would be a severe error.
@MrTrashcan1 It can be, it doesn't have to be. Sugar is a common culprit in dyslipidemia. In theory, however, other things can induce it too. I'll wager a "high fat diet" is one of those things.
A good example: Visceral fat force feeds the liver abnormally high levels of fatty acids, leading to insulin resistance.
@ghaffasa Fine, place your money on the table. When carbs are kept reasonably low, high animal fat/saturated fat will not cause dyslipidemia, nor will it produce insulin resistance. Thousands of low-carbers will attest to this. In fact, most eat this way specifically to reverse those problems. And their lipid panels and blood glucose levels prove it.

LOL INSULIN RESISTANCE? carbohydrates result an insulin response, fats have an EXTREMELY limited insulin response, mostly 0. this is stupid as fuck.

@bigbobabc123 I suggest you study some hepatic biochemistry before making a fool of yourself.

Here's a clue to the hidden agenda... "Weight Loss SURGERY" (WLSChannel)
Sucking fat from bellies, and cash from wallets.
As for the video content... Bad science, basing assumptions on incomplete data and 'cherry-picking' to achieve a desired conclusion.
These people are part of the problem, not part of any solution, imo.

this is just messed up... Ketogenic diets which is 70-90% fat are prescribed for children with epilepsy and those who experience siezures.

UM the guy in Super Size me consumed TRANS FAT which was bad! along with carbs and high salt and sugar levels
not natural saturated or other good fats

High fat diet leads to insulin resistance? Not the cookies, pancakes, sugar and sodas?

Me, too. And it's animal fat, not unsaturated oils and there is a significant difference. The medical establishment lumps all fat together.

@ghaffasa No, you have it backwards. Dyslipidemia is the result of chronic high blood glucose and insulin resistance.
