Insulin Sensitivity

[tren_plz]

You're about to go into paralysis by analysis.

Kaladryn's situation is not yours. For most, switching to a keto diet will lead to better insulin sensitivity. Id say for 90% of people really.

Awesome post. This is why many that attempt keto to correct insulin resistance quickly discover this will not fix the issue.

yes...

heres a good article on having higher fasting blood glucose numbers while on a keto diet...

Alright so one of you smarter guys explain...

How much fat in Keto is too much?

I mean, in another thread about calories I spoke about how me particularly, I can increase calories even from fat and protein, eliminating carbs and I look/feel way better and more clear head etc... Yet some people were saying that if calories are the same, essentially your body composition etc shouldn’t change... But I see a clear difference and have a hard time believing that...

Now it doesn’t matter about carbs for insulin resistance and sensitivity?

Yet no one here does an insulin protocol running a fat/protein diet only.... I mean, if it makes no difference what macro you eat to create an insulin response endogenously, then shouldn’t it make no difference when doing a protocol?

Yet I’m sure most guys would go hypo....

Or is it once the body is fat adapted that it creates the same insulin response/resistance? In the case of a Keto diet...

I’m just confused because there’s guys saying “don’t be shy with the fat on Keto” etc and even Dr.Serrono has a video talking about how he’ll eat a stick of butter as a snack...

I understand if one eats all foods/macros in excess you create resistance

Sorry, I’m clearly a monkey when it comes to this lol

In this situation it just seems that your body processes fats much more efficiently than carbs.

As for insulin sensitivity, in your situation, you're sensitivity may have been perfectly fine so switching to a higher fat lower carb approach even keeping calories the same or increasing, insulin resistance wasn't an issue.

Most will run carbs high for months on end, become insulin resistance, then think they can switch to high fat and keep calories the same, and it will help with insulin resistance, which isn't the case.
