Paper: Effect of single day high fat / high calorie eating
From my local Uni:
A Single Day of Excessive Dietary Fat Intake Reduces Whole-Body Insulin Sensitivity: The Metabolic Consequence of Binge Eating. Quote:

I checked ref #7 for obvious problems. Found 'em. It's animal models. Binge eating is induced by prior restriction. The selective aspect is innate, not arbitrary, yet manifested from arbitrary choice by experimenter. In this experiment, it's humans, not induced by prior restriction, arbitrary choice by experimenter a priori. A couple significant points. 200g of carbs per day for the test meals/day. This shuts down ketogenesis. It's probably what allowed the binge. Otherwise, ketones flow, hunger is suppressed, binge becomes much harder if not outright impossible. I'm not sure by which mechanism ketones suppress hunger, but apparently they do, so I'm going with that. But then again subjects' normal diet probably shut down ketogenesis anyways so the test meals/day is just more of the same. In an animal model, dietary fat activates PPAR-alpha to maintain homeostatis of various energy substrate, i.e. glucose, lipids, etc. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16054078 If this animal model translates to humans, it should show up in this experiment. It does not. On the contrary, the apparent excess dietary fat does not improve insulin sensivity which is an otherwise expected effect of activation of PPAR-alpha in the liver by dietary fat. Feltham did something similar. His results were opposite. Maybe Sam lied? Dunno, let's say he was truthful. What was done differently? Sam didn't eat 200g of carbs per day for his high-fat experiment. No, he ate something like 10-15g of carbs per day, barely enough to show up on blood tests. (did he do an OGTT?) Physical effects of insulin resistance did not show up with Sam. On the contrary, his gut shrank, in spite of gaining a few lbs otherwise. So, this experiment didn't replicate Sam's, so the results will not be replicated either. Rather, we can now see clearly why people say "low-carb doesn't work". It's cuz it ain't low-carb. The word "ketone(s)" appears exactly none in this paper. Any serious researcher will at least mention in discussion, if not measure in experiment, all pertinent aspects, not just those that support their hypothesis and/or conclusions. For example, "we did not measure ketones in this experiment because it would confound the results". |
Sure. If you eat almost your day's energy requirement as carbs and protein, and then add in 4000 calories or so of fat, things might not go well. The one participant's sample menu gave 4815 calories as fat. I'll try not to eat 535 grams of fat tomorrow, but I'm not making any promises.

I think I'd get worse results than this if I ate 200 grams of carbohydrate a day, period. With or without the fat or over- or even under-eating calories. That's a lot of carbs. |
That's the thing. I'll worry about glucose tolerance when I eat some. Maybe at Christmas, I'm in control of my own Thanksgiving dinner this year. :)
