First, foods from plants contain less total and saturated fat, resulting in reduced caloric intake, weight loss, and improved A1C levels. Second, independent of weight loss, a low-fat, plant-based diet improves insulin sensitivity, presumably by reducing intramyocellular lipid accumulation. As insulin sensitivity improves, carbohydrate tolerance increases. Third, participants in the diabetes studies by Barnard et al.
Overhang: That portion of the roof structure that extends beyond the exterior walls of a building. Penetrations: Vents, pipes, stacks, chimneys-anything that penetrates a roof deck. Pitch: The degree of roof incline expressed as the ratio of the rise, in feet, to the span, in feet.

A timber roof truss is a structural framework of timbers designed to bridge the space above a room and to provide support for a roof.Trusses usually occur at regular intervals, linked by longitudinal timbers such as purlins. The space between each truss is known as a bay.losed truss: 1) A truss with a tie beam; 2) a roof system with a ceiling so the framing is not visible. Open truss: 1) A truss with an interrupted tie beam or scissor truss which allow a vaulted ceiling area; 2) Roof framing open to view, not hidden by a ceiling.
