Summary

This study looked at how two different nutritionally balanced diets affect insulin levels and other markers of metabolic health in 52 adults who are overweight or at risk for diabetes. Participants followed each diet while maintaining their weight, and researchers measured changes in insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, and other blood markers. The goal was to understand how diet composition can influence disease risk, even when calories stay the same.
