In animal studies,
high carbohydrate diets in rats leads to an increase in insulin production (and probably leptin, although that wasn't studied).
A recent study (6) which compared athletes who followed a
habitual high carbohydrate diet to that of a low carbohydrate diet showed this to not be the case.
A study with 23 elderly with mild cognitive impairment showed that a ketogenic diet improved verbal memory performance after 6 weeks compared to a
standard high carbohydrate diet.
I ask because contrary to mainstream medical advice, a low fat
very high carbohydrate diet is able to reverse type II diabetes in most cases.
But what I do know is that the studies linking high protein diets to such problems are also studies where the protein sources are combined
with high carbohydrate diets, as I mentioned in my article.
Insulin and IGF - 1 can stimulate tumour cell growth
High carbohydrate diets increase levels of insulin and what is known as insulin - like growth factor - 1 (IGF - 1) which stimulate tumour cell growth.
In 2013 Dr. Jeff Volek RD / PhD, his graduate students and colleagues commenced data collection for the FASTER Study (FASTER = Fat - Adapted - Substrate oxidation in - Trained - Elite - Runners) to look at the physiological differences between elite male ultra-marathon runners with one cohort following a
conventional high carbohydrate diet and the other following a low carb / fat - adapted strategy.
Those eating almonds experienced a 62 % greater reduction in their weight / BMI (body mass index), 50 % greater reduction in waist circumference, and 56 % greater reduction in body fat compared to those on the low
calorie high carbohydrate diet!
The researchers studied the effects on joints of diets rich in a variety of saturated fatty acids found in such foods as butter, coconut oil, palm oil and animal fat, and simple carbohydrates — a high - fat,
high carbohydrate diet common to «junk food.»
A walnut - rich diet that was higher in fat showed better weight - loss when compared to a lower fat,
higher carbohydrate diet among overweight and obese women, according to recent findings published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
This type of research, which is the gold standard when it comes to scientific validation, demonstrates that diets rich in animal products confers a metabolic advantage over the alternatives, decreasing the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia, consistently out -
performing high carbohydrate diets.
Here is the link to a site that lists over 10 studies showing reduced T3 (active hormone) with lower carbohydrate diets VS
higher carbohydrate diets most of them the SAME caloric intake compared, shocking but true.
Of course, a low fat,
high carbohydrate diet decreases ApoA1, but this doesn't mean it's bad if you're insulin sensitive and have low TGs (and low LDL) eating such a diet, as many people do; the lower lipid circulation all round probably just means that less ApoA1 will be required for equilibrium.
For a conventional high carb athlete we continue to feel the standard Maffetone Method Low HR Training (MAF) approach is an excellent tool for their base and recovery training, however, based on athlete feedback and new data is has become clear to us the 180 BPM minus chronological age needs to shift with a fat - adapted athlete and here is why: The Maffetone Method was developed using athletes who were using a
relatively high carbohydrate diet.
You'd care because being insulin resistance combined with a moderate to
high carbohydrate diet makes you «hyperinsulinemic» — you have high insulin all the time.
The number of copies of this gene also varies in people: Those
eating high carbohydrate diets — such as the Japanese and European Americans — have more copies than people with starch - poor diets, such as the Mbuti in Africa.
As far as physical performance is concerned, ketogenic diet is on par
with high carbohydrate diets and ketone supplements have been shown to be not particularly effective.
«What is remarkable about our findings is that they show that a simple dietary modification of reducing the carbohydrate content of the meals can, within a day, protect against development of insulin resistance and block the path toward development of prediabetes while sustained intake of
high carbohydrate diets as shown in the two mentioned studies lead to increased fasting insulin secretion and resistance.
The first section of this paper discusses the detrimental impact of dietary carbohydrates on the blood glucose balance and insulin response of cats as a species — with pre-diabetic and diabetic patients being especially susceptible to the negative effects
of high carbohydrate diets.
