Hi all,
here is the concept that I am struggling with. Keto increases insulin resistance in muscles. Insulin resistance in muscles is a large contributing factor in T2.
So Keto = bad?
I read an article on line, yes I know the internet is a dangerous place, suggesting that as the body changes over to using fat as a fuel the muscles reject glucose as the main fuel source and become more resistant to it.
My working thesis is centred around reducing insulin resistance through out the whole body buy increasing muscle sensitivity.
In a nut shell:
no exercise = muscles don't need fuelled and are resistant to insulin through lack of use.
more exercise = muscles need more energy, even when not in use, so now welcome insulin and use it more effectively lowering blood sugar levels. (result remission/reversal of T2)
I am learning that everyone is different and that there is no such thing as a single unifying theory, and for a lot of people keto life has been great for them but is there anyone out there that is finding there not getting the results they expected from keto lifestyle?
Does any one have any evidence on keto increasing insulin resistance?
Lastly am I the only one who thinks of The Pink Panther every time they hear the word keto?
