Fat to carbohydrate ratio

July 30th, 2007 | by David Spelts |

High fat diets induce insulin resistance and obesity in rats. Reducing the amount of carbohydrates with a high fat diet reduces the obesity, but not the insulin resistance.

A very high fat diet with zero carbohydrates resulted in impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and hypoadiponectinemia….but they did not become obese.
