Шаблон:Short description The carbohydrate-insulin model (CIM) posits that obesity is caused by excess consumption of carbohydrate, which then disrupts normal insulin metabolism leading to weight gain and weight-related illnesses. It is contrasted with the mainstream energy balance model (EBM), which holds that obesity is caused by a excess in calorie consumption compared to calorie expenditure. According to the carbohydrate–insulin model, low-carbohydrate diets would be the most effective in causing long-term weight loss. Notable proponents of the carbohydrate–insulin model include Gary Taubes and David Ludwig.[1][2] The CIM has been tested in mice[3] and humans.[4] Although some experts consider that these studies falsified the CIM, proponents disagree.[5] Available evidence does not support the existence of a long-term advantage in weight loss for low-carbohydrate diets.[5]
