An Alternative Theory of Obesity and Weight Gain
The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model challenges the traditional 'calories in, calories out' view of weight gain. It proposes that highly processed carbohydrates drive obesity not just through excess calories, but by triggering hormonal responses—particularly elevated insulin—that promote fat storage and block fat burning. This model suggests that what you eat (and how it affects your hormones) may be more important than simply how much you eat, which helps explain why some people struggle with weight despite eating less and exercising more.
Conventional dietary guidelines promoting low-fat, high-carb eating are founded on flawed, cherry-picked science, leading to soaring rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes, while decades of research confirm that saturated fat does not cause heart disease.
Tired of regaining weight after dieting? Research shows that a low-carb diet significantly boosts your daily calorie burn—up to 478 calories for those with high insulin secretion—making long-term weight maintenance dramatically easier.
