The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
this is probably not that surprising given that in the first trimester of pregnancy insulin levels surge and I think the idea the idea of the body is you need to get fat now and so to me that translated to unique carbs now and and I I craved them intensely

Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

we do actually see a slight increase in insulin sensitivity in the first trimester
in the in the first part of pregnancy it's largely anabolic so as soon as the woman gets pregnant we see about a 30 increase in production of insulin from the pancreas and this causes a lot of blood sugar dysregulation even my most low-carb carnivore patients i will tell you about because you've never been pregnant first trimester can be brutal it's a beast and um and there's a lowered threshold for glucose stimulated insulin production as well
when a patient gets pregnant there's about an immediate 30 increase in you know basal insulin production but the insulin sensitivity in the first trimester is actually pretty good
