Article Summary
In the article Could Your Healthy Diet Make Me Fat written by David S. Ludwig published on November 28, 2015 is about how diets may be genetically-influenced yet eating less processed carbohydrates is still the most effective advice. Ludwig argues that all diets must be personalized to be the "right" diet for a person. He mentions an Israeli study found insulin-30 levels to best predict how a person's diet may influence weight gain. This measured a person's insulin level 30 minutes after eating. Ludwig cites this study as a major source of information on how preconceptions of "healthy food" could be fattening or bad for some people therefore person-specific diets are for the future, but currently to emphasize the quality of carbohydrates to prevent obesity.
