Purpose: It has been evidenced that the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have significantly increased in the United States over the past two decades. However, previous studies have demonstrated that a reduction ...
The Effects of the OPTIFAST Diet and Aerobic Exercise on Insulin Sensitivity
(East Carolina University, 2022-04-21)
BACKGROUND: Clinical weight loss (CWL) (5-10%) combined with aerobic exercise improves insulin sensitivity. The OPTIFAST program is a medically supervised diet for weight loss, however, there is minimal data available on ...
