If you attempt to lower carbohydrate intake you should also raise fat intake proportionally. Otherwise you will likely fail to stay on the diet.

Largely, insulin resistance starts when ingested carb lectins mimic insulin. They plug into cellular insulin receptors without doing the job of insulin. They don’t transport blood glucose into clls. Cells starve, and the blood fills with glucose.

>> you should also raise fat intake proportionally.

Do proteins factor into that offset?

>> insulin resistance starts when ingested carb lectins mimic insulin...

Didn’t know that.

Thank you for that lectin insight. I knew about them, but personally don’t seem to have any noticeable problem with them. However, someone I know might and this will be a step toward understanding those problems.

Cool!
