Why Does Eating Less Improve Insulin Sensitivity? Ceramides May Hold Part of the Answer

Healthy meal illustrating how calorie restriction may affect ceramides, adiponectin, and insulin sensitivity.

Why does eating less sometimes improve insulin sensitivity beyond what we might expect from weight loss alone? Human research points to an intriguing connection between ceramides, insulin resistance, and adiponectin. Findings from the CALERIE research program suggest that sustained, moderate calorie restriction changes circulating bioactive lipids in ways that may …
