Association between dietary fat intake, liver fat, and insulin sensitivity in sedentary, abdominally obese, older men.

"VAT (r = -0.36) and LFS (r = -0.32) were both negatively correlated with insulin sensitivity (p < 0.05). When LFS and VAT were entered in the same model, only VAT was an independent predictor of insulin sensitivity (p < 0.05)."

Comment:

LFS happens with higher dietary fat (low-carbing) while VAT happens with overeating.

Thus, it remains smarter to simply choose to eat less, down to the right amount rather that to diet:

Here is a simple parable given in hopes of promoting much greater understanding:

Life in industrialized countries is essentially life in blessed feed lots.

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be euglycemic:
