lest anyone believe that the inclusion of these carbohydrates in my diet was making me insulin resistant uh there's a lot of literature and my own labs arguing strongly against that notion
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.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
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.

my fasting insulin is usually three or less with a c-peptide to correlate with that of less than 0.5
One was 3.3 and one was less than three, I believe it was 2.9 micro IU per ml.
Every time that I've checked my fasting insulin and I've shown this in my blood work multiple times July August of 2022 most recently I did two sets of labs My fasting insulin is three micro IU per ml or lower
I'm eating 300 grams of carbohydrates and I'm not not gaining weight I have no visceral fat and my insulin is really low My fasting insulin is really low
I'm going to show you my fasting insulin in this set of labs it's consistently low as I've said it's never varied and again I eat tons of carbohydrates in Honey and maple syrup and fruit
though I would be considered a healthy individual because I've never been obese in my adult life nor have I had diabetes I remain very insulin sensitive despite my consumption of significant amounts of carbohydrates
my fasting blood sugar remains very low 85 last time I checked my fasting insulin is three it's probably better than most carnivore and keto people and I eat 300 grams of carbohydrates a day right now
these days I'm eating close to 300 grams of carbohydrates or more per day and guess what as I've shown multiple times my blood work I'm very insulin sensitive My fasting glucose is low My fasting insulin is low my hscrp is low
the one metric that I started tracking a few years ago is fasting insulin and that's been really valuable just be like you know I'm on Carnivore strict carnivore just meet an organs My fasting insulin is low I add carbohydrates My fasting insulin is low I add more carbohydrates to 200 or 300 grams a day
