“if a pregnant woman does a low carb meal the night before a glucose tolerance test they can look insulin resistant the next day because that test is sort of flawed right and what's going on there is that when we increase the amount of fat in our diet and when we decrease the amount of carbohydrates there are different signals from the adipose tissue because of declining levels of insulin right so what we know is that if we don't eat carbohydrates if we eat a high if we eat a high fat low carb diet with a moderate amount of protein insulin signal drops and when the insulin signal let the adipocytes drops they change the fatty acids that they put out into the blood mhm and it shifts from correct me if I'm wrong here Paul made oleic acid to palmitate and then palmitate circulates to the muscle cells and kind of gives them the signal hey refuse glucose we've got plenty of free fatty acids spare the glucose for the brain and the red blood cells and this is physiologic insulin resistance quote which should be glucose sparing
