Do insulin: poorly justified the Rap?

The question of the insulin-makes-him-fat is something that I have been in a circle. My formal education nutrition came mainly in the mid-1990s when low in fats still reigned supreme and low carbohydrate diet was a fashion and a dangerous.

Fast forward to 7-8 years at the top of popularity low in carbohydrate and insulin was the evil responsible for our growing waist hormone. The rationale was simple and seemed so logical. Eating lots of carbohydrates - spike your insulin - insulin promotes fat storage and ready! Get fat. I was buying.

Low carbohydrate diet gurus repeating this message for many years - but he has misinterpreted insulin?

This is not to know the most intricate biological details of the effect of insulin in the body; However credit 3 very smart individuals to help dissect the complicated and often misrepresented insulin role: Alan Aragon, James Krieger and "carb Sane". A time ago, Krieger wrote a series of five phenomenal part called insulin: an undeserved bad reputation.

1. A high Carb Diet leads to chronically elevated levels of insulin
Eat a meal high in carbohydrates only temporarily raises the level of insulin in healthy individuals. This means that any affects fat loss of insulin suppression is virtually non-existent, as the ability to store fat does not exceed the capacity of free it - assuming that they do not consume more calories the spend.

2 Carbohydrate units of insulin units of fat storage
The body has the ability to store fat under a variety of levels of insulin. Insulin mitigate the effect of a hormone of fat called "hormone sensitive lipase" (LAV). Fat, however it does too in the absence of high levels of insulin. Therefore fat overeating will still not allow loss of fat despite low levels of insulin.

3 Insulin make you hungry
Not only is it a false idea, but it is the opposite may be true. Appetite is a very complex issue in any case and indicate a single factor is ridiculous default.

4 Carbohydrates and carbohydrate unit of insulin
Many are surprised to learn that protein can also stimulate the production of insulin. This is not really lost in the crowd of ardent carb low - with many of them promote low in carbohydrates and low protein to prevent the production of insulin (shakes head). In this study despite almost two times the consumption of carbohydrates and much larger response of sugar in the blood, the insulin response was actually slightly less in the largest group of carbohydrates.

It is a question complicated - plain and simple. Who says weight gain has a singular cause lies to your face. Weight management is multivariate and multi-layered. I suggest you take a look detailed rebuttals to the entire series if you have a great interest.
