Insulin resistance

Symptom
Insulin resistance occurs when insulin cannot grab sugar and open the door into cells. Sugar stays trapped in bloodstream, floating around until you urinate it out.
  • Fat consumption: All fats (including milk, cheese, butter, eggs, chicken, beef, nut butters, nut milks, avocado, oils, coconut oil) lead to insulin resistance by blocking sugar from entering cells
  • High-Fat Diets: All high-fat diets contribute to insulin resistance - keto, paleo, carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based diets can all be high-fat. Even plant-based eaters often consume too many nuts, nut butters, tofu, and fake meats.
  • Fat blocking insulin: Any carbohydrates combined with fats causes insulin resistance - the fat gets in the way of insulin's job to guide sugar into cells
  • Fat and Sugar Combination: Anytime you eat fat and sugar combined, you get insulin resistance. The fat blocks insulin from grabbing onto sugar and taking it into cells. This is the mechanism behind most blood sugar problems.
  • High fat diet: Caused by eating too much fat, not carbohydrates. Fat prevents glucose from getting where it needs to go
  • Cheese: Cheese contains both lactose (sugar) and fat. This combination creates insulin resistance. All cheese does this - dairy, aged, soy cheese, vegan cheese. Cheese is one of the most addictive foods because the sugar-fat combination stabilizes you momentarily while causing insulin resistance.
  • Chocolate Cake: Chocolate cake isn't bad because of the sugar - it's all the fat (oil, butter, cacao) combined with sugar that creates insulin resistance.
  • Chips with Oil: Even 'healthy' avocado oil chips are overt fat combined with carbohydrate sugar - creating insulin resistance and blood sugar instability.
  • Fat and sugar combination: Fat blocks insulin from taking sugar into cells, forcing the pancreas to produce excessive insulin
  • Fats: Fat blocks sugar from getting into cells and glucose from getting to brain - fat creates insulin resistance, not sugar
  • Fat Stays in Bloodstream: Fat from dinner stays in bloodstream all night and into the next day. Every time you eat any carbohydrate with fat still in your bloodstream, you have insulin resistance.
  • French Fries: French fries in oil are a blood sugar abomination. The oil blocks insulin from delivering the carbohydrate sugars to cells. You're not just getting healing potato starch - you're getting insulin resistance.
  • Fat in morning diet: Having fats in the morning (bagel with cream cheese, butter) continues and worsens insulin resistance over time
  • High fats: High fats not letting the sugar into your cells - that's what creates high blood sugar. It's the high fats, not the sugar itself
  • High blood fat: High fatty foods create high blood fat which stops critically needed glucose from getting to brain
  • Oil consumption: If you use oil everywhere in cooking, you're going to get insulin resistance and always have moments of being too hungry, wanting bad carbohydrates uncontrollably
  • Sugar and Fat Combinations: Insulin resistance is caused by sugar/carbohydrate and fat combinations - NOT sugar alone. Examples include: bagel with cream cheese, donuts, cookies, cakes, oatmeal with peanut butter or coconut oil, milk (lactose + fat), peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pizza, cheeseburgers. The fat sits in the blood and prevents insulin from driving glucose into cells.
  • Fat and sugar combined: Occurs from fat and sugar combined in meals, not from fruit alone
  • Pizza: Pizza kills your pancreas. It has oil in the crust, cheese (fat and sugar), tomato sauce (sugar, possibly with oil), and often meat toppings. It's the ultimate fat-sugar abomination.
  • Fat in blood: So much fat inside blood that you can't get sugar into cells - sugar that you need in your cells because you die without it
  • Sugar and fat combinations: The combination of sugar and fat together - bagel with cream cheese, donuts, cookies, cakes, oatmeal with peanut butter, milk (lactose and fat)
  • Fat and sugar combination: The combination of sugar and fat together creates insulin resistance. Fat blocks sugar from entering cells, leading to sugar trapped in bloodstream
  • Too much fat in blood: When there's too much fat in the blood, the body tries to get sugar into cells but fat blocks the sugar from entering. Insulin is produced to try to stop this creating resistance
