Tue, 24 May 2011
Slight changes in your diet can considerably impact your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, without any substantial weight loss .

These are some of the results of brand new research .

It is well known that being overweight or obese can increase the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes . Hence, losing weight can reduce this risk.

The researchers placed all participants on diets which involved modest reductions in either fat or carbohydrates for eight weeks.

The group on a lower fat diet had much higher insulin secretion and enhanced glucose tolerance; they also displaced a tendency to higher insulin sensitivity .

These study results indicate that should you lower your daily consumption of fat by 27 per cent you are minimising you risk of diabetes in the long term.
