Carbohydrates: friend or foe?

This episode is all about carbohydrates, insulin resistance and low carbohydrate diets (including ketogenic diets). Host Linda goes over some basic metabolism and discusses how cutting carbohydrates will mask any underlying insulin resistance, as the true culprit in type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome is often intramyocellular lipids rather than carbohydrates. We also discuss the research on dietary interventions to truly reverse diabetes and manage insulin resistance including the science of whole food plant-based (vegan) diets.
