Despite similar weight loss, low-carbohydrate diet delivers insulin reductions, smaller fat cells than low-fat diet
LOS ANGELES — Eating plans low in carbohydrates result in smaller fat cells vs. low-fat/higher-carbohydrate plans after similar weight loss, which may yield better metabolic health, according to a speaker at the World Congress of Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.
