Insulinogenic effects of dietary proteins on a low carb diet

in #diabetes7 years ago (edited)

Often we hear that proteins, especially from lean meat can be more insulinogenic than white rice...and that seems to contradict the carbs/insulin model that ketogenic, low carb diets are based on.

Dr Benjamin Bikman recent presentation suggest there may be a bit more to it all...

Our underlying glycemic state may well determine our insulin response to dietary proteins...

Enjoy!
