Original title: Experts from Shenzhen Advanced Institute and Chinese Academy of Sciences put forward new viewpoints on ketogenic diet theory model

In recent years, the ketogenic diet has become very popular in the field of weight loss

The traditional CIM model believes that the intake of carbohydrates will cause a sharp increase in insulin levels after a meal, and insulin promotes the body's energy intake to be stored in adipose tissue, generating a hunger signal, which inhibits the metabolic rate and further stimulates eating

In order to answer this question, Academician John Speakman and Dr.

Academician Speakman said: "The CIM model is just a good attempt to understand why humans gain weight and why the ketogenic diet helps to lose weight, but the results of animal and human studies prove that the model is wrong

John Roger Speakman is one of the few academicians of the three countries (foreign academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, foreign academicians of the American Academy of Sciences, and academicians of the Royal Society), and is also an internationally renowned scholar and technical authority in the field of energy metabolism research
