Like the carbohydrate–insulin model, the ether model seemed highly plausible as the wave-like nature of light was well-known and all other waves propagated through a medium. It was difficult to ...

The authors of "The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model: A Physiological Perspective on the Obesity Pandemic," a perspective published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, point to fundamental ...

The carbohydrate-insulin model argues that overeating isn’t the underlying cause of long-term weight gain. Instead, it’s the biological process of gaining weight that causes us to overeat.

Ludwig, an endocrinologist and professor of pediatrics and nutrition at Harvard Medical School, argues for the "carbohydrate-insulin model" of obesity. The pancreas produces a hormone called ...

One such pattern is the carbohydrate insulin model, in which people replace carbohydrates with dietary fat by reducing refined grains, emphasizing low-glycemic index carbohydrates, eating whole ...

and low-carbohydrate — what that study calls the carbohydrate-insulin model. A general, heart-healthy diet high in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is often a dietitian’s first pick ...

According to Ludwig, the findings support a theory called the "carbohydrate-insulin model". The premise is that diets heavy in processed carbs send insulin levels soaring, which drives the body to use ...

"Our findings do not support the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity," said Dr. Retnakaran. "We observed that a robust post-challenge insulin secretory response -- once adjusted for glucose ...
