Physiologic Insulin Resistance
When carbohydrate intake is low, the body can enter a state of physiologic insulin resistance, allowing muscle tissue to utilize fat for energy while sparing glucose for vital organs. This adaptation can lead to misleading insulin resistance readings if a high-carb meal follows a low-carb diet. A temporary increase in carbohydrate consumption can help reset insulin signaling, particularly for those who have improved their metabolic health.In this clip
