Did you know according to the CDC, the Avg U.S Obesity Rate is 42.2%?
Obesity rates remain at historic highs, despite a persistent focus on eating less and moving more, as guided by the energy balance model (EBM). Explaining obesity as a disorder of energy balance rests on principles of physics without considering biological mechanisms that could promote weight gain. An alternative theory, the carbohydrate insulin model (CIM), states that increased fat deposition in the body- caused by the hormonal responses to high carbohydrate diet-leads to a positive energy balance.
