To Prevent Insulin Resistance Potassium Supplementation is a Must on Protein-Modified Fast W/ Out Fruits & Veggies
You don't need supplemental K, well... unless you are on a protein modified fast without fruits and veggies ;-) The 1984 study by Norbiato et al. is not a very recent, but it's probably a very important study which was set up to investigate "the role of potassium deficiency in the development of glucose intolerance during caloric deprivation" (Norbiato. 1984). Or, put simly, the scientists wanted to know if a low potassium level may promote insulin resistance and modify or is modified in response to dieting (in this case protein-modified fasting). In the study, two groups of subjects were studied. The "normal" group consisted of ten subjects, who were 27-45 years old and whose body weights ranged from 89 to 115% of the "ideal body weight". The "obese" group group consisted of twenty subjects aged 21-48 years who were 70%-131% overweight. Learn more about the health effects of food: Pasta "Al Dente" = Anti-Diabetic ...
