[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1621961, member: 410240"] insulin's job is to remove glucose and ketones from the blood by "allowing" cells to use them. A very low-level of insulin give cells "permission" to use ketones, a "normal" level "allows" cells to use glucose, a high level "instructs" cells to convert glucose into fat. A "normal" level of insulin also stops cells from burning fat as the body want the cells to use glucose. Most people will have times of the day with an insulin level low enough that their cells burn the fat that was stored at other times of the same day. All carbs get converted into glucose when we eat them. Protein is converted into glucose by the liver at a much slower rate if we eat more protein then our body needs. (Hence a very high protein meal with few carbs may need two spaced out doses of insulin. Therefore very low carb works best when high fat, rather than high protein.) Insulin resistance makes it harder for our muscles to use glucose when the insulin level is normal, hence forcing a higher insulin level and the storage of glucose as fat. Then is where metformin [B]may [/B]help. Resistance training and HITT are also proven to reduce insulin resistance, and work a lot better than for example running at the same speed for a long time. It also seems that a large drop in insulin level is one of the triggers for making people hungry and hence lots of people find they eat less without trying when they avoid most carbs. (Other hormones that make us feel "fill up" are not triggered as much by carbs, then they are by protein or fat, so it quickly gets very complex when you look at the details of the science.) [/QUOTE]
