According to experts, losing weight is all about eating healthy and exercising regularly.
According to the opinion of articles published in the journal Nutrition of American Clinical, Obesity and related health problems not only about how many calories eaten by people, but how hormones tell the body to store fat.
Researchers from several leading universities such as Harvard, Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University made the mainstream nutrition case misunderstand how people get and lose weight based on calories, on the grounds that hormones like insulin also play an important role.
Experts say carbohydrate high diet increases obesity
The current idea of ​​gaining weight or loss is based on how much energy is consumed by a person in the form of calories from food.
If someone eats more than they burn during the day, they will gain weight.
If they eat less than what they burn, they will lose weight.
This concept is called inner calories, calorie out theory (CICO).
An alternative weight loss approach according to researchers is the obese carbohydrate-insulin model, which indicates that hormone levels are responsible for how we store or burn body fat.
For example, a high diet in processed carbohydrates can cause a surge in blood sugar levels and push the body to release insulin.
The high level of insulin from time to time can make the body less sensitive to hormones, force it to release more to keep blood sugar stable.
The theory said that the high level of insulin pushes the body to store more body fat, even without calories and disrupt hunger cues, creating a malignant cycle of metabolic disorders.
The obesity car-insulin model is not new and has been repeatedly suggested by supporters of a low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diet.
Some experts say processed food also plays the main factor.
Calories still play a role in weight loss
Although insulin plays a role in storing fat, no research claims that it is more important than calorie intake.
Evidence shows that processed foods and processed carbohydrates contribute to obesity.
Other factors such as calorie density, carbohydrate ratios to other macronutrients such as fat and protein and the food environment all play a role in how a person loses weight.
