  • The Role of Carbohydrates in insulin resistance.

    Below is a link of a study on the role of carbs in insulin resistance.

    "The available data support the idea that consumption of diets high in total carbohydrate does not adversely affect insulin sensitivity compared with high fat diets. Animal data suggest that simple sugars, in particular fructose, have adverse effects on insulin action, but adverse effects have not been shown conclusively in humans. Increased intake of dietary fiber appears to improve insulin action and may protect against the development of diabetes. The effects of diets with high or low glycemic index on insulin action are controversial at this time. For firm conclusions to be reached, future studies must be of reasonable duration, be in defined populations and compare the effects of relevant doses of nutrients on specific endpoints of insulin action."

    Study was done on animals but I would think humans get the same effect based from experience.
