INSIGHT

Calorie Restriction vs. Fasting

  • Weight loss isn't just about calories but also hormones, especially insulin.
  • High insulin levels promote fat storage and inhibit fat burning, even with low calories.
ANECDOTE

Insulin and Weight Gain

  • Type 2 diabetics given high insulin doses gained weight despite calorie restriction.
  • Insulin shuttled calories into storage, leaving them hungry and with low energy.
INSIGHT

Optimizing for Fat Loss

  • Processed carbs spike blood glucose and insulin, promoting fat storage.
  • Lowering insulin through fasting or low-carb diets allows access to stored fat for energy.
