In a recent episode of A Whole New Level, Levels Advisor Dr. Robert Lustig discusses obesity and weight loss. Low-carbohydrate diets, such as the ketogenic diet, have gained in popularity for improving metabolic health and aiding weight loss. But can you lose weight on a high-carb, low-fat diet? The answer is yes, but doing so depends on the type of carbohydrates you eat. The focus must be on fiber-rich carbohydrates rather than on refined (processed) carbohydrates, where the fiber has largely been stripped out. Fiber helps slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, which prevents a glucose spike and therefore an insulin spike. High insulin drives fat storage. Keeping insulin down can help with weight loss. #metabolichealth #keto #carbs #weightloss Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/shorts 👋 WHO WE ARE: Levels helps you see how food affects your health.
