In other words, when consuming alcohol sugars you actually ingest non-zero calories of them. Yes, it is possible the reporting of all behavior (e. 6. Most of the harm from sugar is actually from the fructose. (My parents basically weaned me on Coke (normal, not diet) and I had a heck of a sweet tooth and ate junk all the time most of my life. The latest suggested culprit was Diet Coke (by implication, all artificial sweeteners) and the alleged insulin response to the Sucralose etc. This has been documented in humans, and a few studies have attempted to elucidate the mechanism indirectly by using various drugs to attempt to block this response. Hi Peter, Thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful website. Thanks so much for your interest in helping. Thanks again for helping to fight the good fight, and keep it up. I think this point is very important, because the greater the variety of vegetables and fruits we can eat and not cause our insulin too soar too high, the better.

I find this helpful when I want to assess the impact of different foods I eat. They also all exercise for the benefits not of weight loss but for blood chemistry improvement. Such folks lack an enzyme required to metabolize a breakdown product of aspartame. I tried drinking it black but almost gagged, so i just gave it up completely.

Others (like me) still like the occasional taste of sweet things. You will also note that both groups of diet soft drink consumers reported between 1,500 and 1,700 calories per day, below the national average, suggesting yet another problem with this sort of study — self-reporting. It is the glucose that causes the insulin response when sugar is consumed. Good blog.

So I tend to prefer it as my sweetener of choice, when I do choose to use sweetener. Very dramatic improvement, indeed near elimination of headaches. Seems there is some contradictory messages out in the low carb world. There are folks (like me) who do not appear to have much of an acute insulin response to sugar substitutes.

A question I would ask you is if you are able to confirm the extent to which you are in ketosis (by blood measurement of beta-hydroxybutyrate). A Cox proportional hazards model assumes that the predictors enter linearly into the model. Dr Attia. I then stumbled upon the Perfect Health Diet about a year and a half ago. The question that has been troubling me is whether it is possible to make myself more insulin sensitive by eating fewer carbs than I need to eat. As a group they all have your answers (and in fact, some advise against an OTTG and in favor of a HOMA). Or do you have other strong evidence-based information. g.

It is okay with whipped cream over blueberries, but it is a different taste. So you use total carbs simply for ease of accounting and would rather have a little less subtraction than optimal fiber. Great blog write up, I really appreciate the information. If we want to definitively know the answer to this question, we need to design a prospective, well-controlled, random-assignment experiment.

Here is the collected wisdom they report over there. Mike, in my experience this goes away after sufficient time in ketosis when you body gets more and more efficient at utilizing the ketones. Hunger is a physiologic response that has not been completely figured out. I had actually stopped regular consumption of Diet Coke months before, but I still had the occasional large dose 3-5 times per month. Regarding fructose, the problem is in the dose (as you pointed out to another commenter). Most people (including many policy makers, who are bombarded with this sort of bumper-sticker information) tend to form their opinions based on this sort of information. Only for a few hours, but obviously I noticed it. Peter how many gms of carb do you calculate heavy cream as. Bernstein stating that you can feed a diabetic rocks and still get an insulin response. This form is chosen for computational and mathematical convenience, not because anybody has a convincing argument for why the model is correct. I hear ya.

Is there a protein level that you recommend for a ketogenic state. , if you overdo it on these you can get diarrhea), in most people they do not cause secretion of insulin from the pancreas due to their distinct chemical structure (see figure of their structures, above). Gastric distention may cause some component of satiety, though not insulin secretion in most. , prospectively and with random assignment in a controlled setting). Over the course of the following week, the silent periods grew longer, until it vanished almost completely. Knowing its deadly properties I rushed her to the vet for a stomach pump.

And one thing it really taught me was to read, to consider, and then to experiment on myself. In fact, I just read a paper from PNAS suggesting that other (non-glucose) circulating nutrients can stimulate the beta-cell and potentiate the glucose-triggered response of insulin.

There are a few women who even after a year still require a bit of metformin, and a couple on the Atkins forum added the lowest dose of Januvia. I do want to make one very important point that is true of virtually every study of this nature: it is impossible to make a correct inference without doing a prospective, random-assignment, controlled trial. I just really need to get through those 2-3 weeks of adjustment to ketosis. Hi Peter, gee I really hate to see your comment about Dr. The question is what insulin response are you generating, and over time this can be reversed.
