[QUOTE="AliB, post: 1523460, member: 16907"] [URL]https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-causes-insulin-resistance/[/URL] I can see how this works. Whilst LCHF would reduce the blood sugar, simply because it is low carb, and low carb keeps the insulin requirement down, it does not necessarily reduce insulin resistance. Many consuming a LCHF regime actually develop physiological IR. It works to keep the BG down, but IR is still present so carbs still - and always have to be kept to a minimum. Some lower than others. However, the WFPB regime works by clearing the excess fat out of the cells so that insulin sensitivity returns. It seems that whilst an animal protein diet always has to be accompanied by fat, a plant-based diet doesn't. It is not a fat-free diet as virtually everything contains fat or oil, but is extremely low fat. I can imagine that once lean mass is reached, some fat or oil could then be reintroduced quite safely. The Western diet is very meat and fat loaded in comparison to many 'healthier' diets around the World. The penchant for consuming fried carb foods is also very likely contributory (chips, fries, etc.), and the need for cream with fruit (I do love my fats....hopefully my body will get used to not having them).
