KIN 6026 – Sport and Exercise Nutrition for Peak Performance   In class, we compared two, contrasting, models describing the development of obesity – the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model (CIM) and the Energy-Balance Model (EBM).

State how either the CIM or the EBM explains the physiological changes that lead to excessive weight gain.

Types of carbohydrate (starches, sugars, fiber) and their impact on blood glucose and insulin. Energy storage and subsequent relationship to appetite and energy expenditure. Roles of nutrient and caloric density in total energy intake. Describe 2-3 concomitant dietary interventions (recommendations) for the selected model – e.g., low-carb/high fat, low-GI, low-fat, low-calorie, etc. Discuss how these interventions improve health or performance  (particularly compared to the other recommendations).
