Hard thinking upsets glucose/insulin balance

January 2, 2009, 01:15 AM

Here is an interesting observation for those on Atkins: that intellectual work disturbs the glucose/insulin balance mechanism and can promote overeating.

It is one of the cornerstones of the Atkins programme that insulin spikes are to be suppressed by reducing carbohydrate consumption.

Too much thinking 'can make you fat' - Telegraph

Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'
