Terapia nutricional en el paciente obeso con insulinorresistencia y riesgo cardiovascular / Nutritional therapy in the obese patient with insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk

En la actualidad cada una de las diferentes sociedades científicas aboga por un tipo u otro de recomendaciones nutricionales para el paciente con riesgo vascular. Esta gran variedad de dietas por un lado enriquecen las posibilidades terapéuticas nutricionales, pero por otro pueden conducir a cierta confusión, tanto para el paciente como para el profesional que las aconseja. Por otro lado, la mayoría de estudios que valoran riesgo vascular hacen mención a «la dieta», sin definir ni concretar a qué tipo de dieta se está haciendo referencia, introduciendo, por tanto, un importante sesgo en los resultados de dichos estudios. De hecho algunas de ellas guardan cierta contradicción. Esta revisión pretende aportar algo de luz en un tema tan controvertido
