Macro partitioning
Dietary factors, specifically simple sugars (fructose) and dietary fat, contribute to the development of insulin resistance and obesity.
Reduce intake of simple sugars, especially fructose, and manage overall caloric intake to prevent obesity and insulin resistance. Focus on avoiding hypercaloric diets that lead to excess glucose and triglyceride levels.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Recent research has suggested that the intake of simple sugars, and particularly fructose, is also a factor that contributes to IR... excess levels of fructose, which raise triglyceride levels in the bloodstream; and fats, which may be readily absorbed by adipose cells and up as fatty tissue in a hypercaloric diet.
