High-fat Diet Can Lead To Insulin Resistance

http://www.weightlosssurgerychannel.com A high-fat diet can lead to fatty liver and insulin resistance, two precursors to Type 2 diabetes, according to a new study inspired by the documentary Super Size Me.

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

[MrTrashcan1]

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.

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.

LCHF is coming!

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?

[AlbertaBeefy]

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 ...

[MrTrashcan1]

@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.

[ghaffasa]

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

[ghaffasa]

@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.

[MrTrashcan1]

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

[ghaffasa]

@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.

[ghaffasa]

@ericaj58 That too.
