The fatigue improves after eating more carbs so I think it's depletion of glycogen stores, so I was looking if there is a way of increasing carbs a bit without blood sugar going through the roof and came across MD. The idea that eating any fat (including olive oil and nuts) causes insulin resistance seems suspect to me, why is it then that T2s can overcome IR and put it into remission on a LCHF diet? According to that it should have the opposite effect. And tryglycerides which have been shown to correlate well to IR in different formulas go down substantially on a LC diet, indicating lower IR. But I think I'm right in saying that nobody has unequivocally proved what causes IR, there are various theories but nobody knows 100%.</blockquote>
