Extensive peer-reviewed research demonstrates carbohydrate restriction combined with an increase in dietary fat leads to lower levels of circulating insulin, resulting in a higher rate of lipolysis (the burning of the body’s fat stores), and a lower rate of lipogenesis (the creation of fat stores). Sugary and starchy foods drive insulin production and therefore fat storage (yes, even fruit, brown rice and quinoa do this). (2), (3), (4)
What’s more, according to Dr. Richar Veech (who studied medicine at Harvard and earned his PhD at Oxford with Nobel Laureate Hans Krebs), “both the heart and brain run 25% more efficiently from burning fat than on… sugar.” (5)
