Nutritional Biochemistry For Professionals
There are now multiple studies which show that carbohydrate restricted diets:
- Stabilize insulin resistance.
- Control hyperinsulinism.
- Normalize blood sugar.
- Allow the body to burn fat as energy.
- Reduce appetite as an outcome of lipolysis/ketosis.
- Improve clinical parameters (including lipid profile).

“The deleterious effects of fat have been measured in the presence of high carbohydrate. A high fat diet in the presence of high carbohydrate is different than a high fat diet in the presence of low carbohydrate.” Richard Feinman, PhD
