For the people with high insulin resistance: do you experience this?
Someone said in some older topic:
>IF works with a high carb intake but if your insulin resistance is highor you don’t burn carbs through exercise (ie higher intensitymovements), you’re probably better off keeping carb intake moderate tolow.
i wondering if more people that have a high insulin resistance (bad insulin sensitivity) have noticed this by themselves and agree with this statement.
I have PCOS which is characterized by insulin resistance and I saw really no benefit to fasting with 17:7. I switched to OMAD and I’m feeling way way better and seeing results.
I’m not sure about the carbs of exercise piece of this a) I can’t do a ketogenic diet, my gallbladder can’t process that much fat and b) I just loathe exercising (hoping to change that at some point) but what I found is that 17 hours wasn’t enough time for insulin levels to drop off and autophagy starts around 18 hours.
If you are insulin resistant, to avoid (or treat) type two diabetes you must pursue a low-carb diet. There’s a really no other way around it. IF isn’t going to do it by itself if you’re still eating a junk diet with tons of sugar and carbs. However, intermittent fasting will accelerate your progress in terms of reversing the insulin resistance and losing weight (and getting diabetes more manageable).
note: this only applies to people who are dealing with insulin resistance. If you are a healthy weight and do not have the markers for insulin resistance, it doesn’t matter as much what you eat, although I would argue that watching your carbs and reducing processed sugar is going to be healthier for everyone.
