How to best minimize the insulin response long term
Can you think of a food found in nature, that’s high in both fat and sugar? If not, perhaps our human ancestors did not eat a lot of this kind of mixed meals. Interestingly, when you mix fat and sugar you’ll also increase the insulin response, which is something you may want to avoid for health and longevity.
In this presentation, Dr. Eades talks about minimizing the insulin response over time and how to best do this. For example, should you follow the conventional advice to eat frequently, or should you eat fewer meals?
Dr. Mike Eades is one of the early pioneers within low carb, and the author of several books on how low carb works. This presentation from the Low Carb Denver 2019 conference is about how you can best minimize the insulin response over the course of a lifetime.
This is our #16 published presentation from the Low Carb Denver conference. Find all the earlier ones here.

Dr. Michael Eades: This is kind of a weird study; it’s weird but it’s telling. And these poor guys, six obese males, before and after three weeks of total caloric restriction, and I mean total caloric restriction.
They fasted for three weeks, had water only, lost an average of 10.8 kilograms, which is a lot of weight. And then when they did this test, they drank 150 cc of a suspension of corn oil… whoa! They did this, and you can see on the top this is before and after food restriction, you can see the little line across the top, they got IV glucose.
