Individual Postprandial Glycemic Responses to Diet in n-of-1 Trials: Westlake N-of-1 Trials for Macronutrient Intake (WE-MACNUTR).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of different types and quantities of macronutrients on human health has been controversial, and the individual response to dietary macronutrient intake needs more investigation.

Objectives

We aimed to use an 'n-of-1' study design to investigate the individual variability in postprandial glycemic response when eating diets with different macronutrient distributions among apparently healthy adults.

Methods

Thirty apparently healthy young Chinese adults (women, 68%) aged between 22 and 34 y, with BMI between 17.2 and 31.9 kg/m2, were provided with high-fat, low-carbohydrate (HF-LC, 60-70% fat, 15-25% carbohydrate, 15% protein, of total energy) and low-fat, high-carbohydrate (LF-HC, 10-20% fat, 65-75% carbohydrate, 15% protein) diets, for 6 d wearing c
