Effects of low-glycemic load vs low-fat diet in obese young adults: A Rand

Article Abstract:

A trial of obese young adults between 18-35 years was carried out to determine whether insulin secretion affects body fat loss among obese individuals consuming self-prepared diets. Regardless of insulin secretion, a low-glycemic load diet has beneficial effects on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations but not on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration.
