Beyond Calories In, Calories Out: The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model as a Paradigm Shift for Obesity Prevention and Metabolic Health Optimization
The global obesity pandemic persists despite decades of caloric restriction approaches, suggesting fundamental limitations in current weight regulation paradigms. This review synthesizes emerging evidence supporting the carbohydrate-insulin model (CIM), which proposes that hormonal responses to high-glycemic carbohydrates drive fat storage and subsequently increase energy intake—reversing traditional causality assumptions. Clinical evidence demonstrates superior metabolic outcomes through…
