That's bullshit, but yes, proteins do provoke an insulin response, which can be unhealthy with enough proteins. Note however that proteins != fat and fat does not provoke an insulin response.
And yes, for diabetics fat meat is healthier than lean meat.
Also note that fat and proteins keep you satisfied for longer, so you end up eating less meals per day. This is not about calories, but about the insulin response.
If you keep eating, the insulin does not go down.
- jackhack 8y agoCan we please keep YC a civil place without the entirely unnecessary profanity which is pervasive everywhere else? It's fine to disagree; but do so based on the strength of your argument and facts.
- cageface 8y agoThis is a direct measurement of blood insulin levels. It's not somebody's opinion. Complex carbs are extremely satiating and plenty of people have reversed type 2 diabetes eating high carb diets.
