Remember the story that fats satisfy the palate and allow you to eat less?
Fats in the diet increase the palatability of foods, which means they give more flavor and satisfaction.

But according to new research, this  is only partially true.

According to a group of researchers from Vanderbilt University’s “Neuroscience Program in Substance Abuse” , a high-fat diet (for example the ketogenic diet or even a very fat and carbohydrate-rich Western diet) can cause obesity because it prompts you to eat Moreover.

A ketogenic or high-fat diet would modify certain areas of the brain that are responsible for insulin signaling.
Until now, the adepts of the ketogenic diet and all those who, although attentive to a healthy diet, ate fat freely, were convinced that fats did not affect the production of insulin in the blood .

In fact, lipids, unlike proteins and carbohydrates, are not insulinogenic .
Their ingestion does not cause insulin peaks: in fact they only have a 10% impact on insulinemia.

This meant that high-fat diets became all the rage to keep insulin at bay.

INSULIN: STIMULATED BY THE BRAIN?

The news of this study is puzzling, because it would link a high-fat diet to changes that would occur in the brain .
Insulin would not rise only from the effect of blood sugar or ingested amino acids.

This problem in the brain would lead to a compensatory mechanism as a reaction to difficulties in controlling appetite and satiety.
Insulin is one of the hormones involved in regulating satiety.

Put simply, the more fat we eat, the more our relationship with insulin is compromised.
As a result, we tend to be less sated, eat more, have appetite problems.
We would thus return to the starting hypothesis.

A high-fat diet could lead to overweight.
