If sugar can't get into the cell with the transporter insulin, it must be best not to eat carbohydrates. Right? Wrong.
The cells need sugar for energy. Energy is what the body needs to keep trucking. The two places glycogen gets stored are the liver and the muscles. But eating a high fat diet, the liver and muscle cells get taken over by fat, thus preferring fat
and shunning sugar.
But the optimum fuel for the cells to make ATP is sugar, not fat. If the body learns and adjusts to eating fat, the cells of the body become resistant to sugar and insulin is not able to help the sugar into the cells. Hence, insulin resistance. AKA, type II diabetes. Type II is not that the pancreas is not making insulin, it's actually making more than a healthy normal person needs.
The body's best fuel is carbohydrates. Sugar is not the enemy. Check out "Mastering Diabetes" on YT.
So today's the last day of 2024. Bring in 2025 with some lovely boiled kale and balsamic vinegar.
