What Causes INSULIN RESISTANCE? [Too Much Fat, or Too Many Carbs]

I answer the good old question: What causes insulin resistance, too much fat, too many carbs, or is there anything else? And as always, I’ll answer the question using science. Everything from research studies to the biochemical side. I fairly compare the two diets, the low fat, high carb, and the low carb high fat diet and their potential to cause insulin resistance, or reverse insulin resistance.

There are 2 main theories about the cause of insulin resistance. Both have as it seems, strong scientific basis, which has a few things in common, and a few facts contradicting each other, which can leave many people confused about the true cause of insulin resistance, resulting in them not knowing what diet and lifestyle should they follow to reverse insulin resistance. After watching this video, you will have a much better understanding of what is insulin resistance, what causes it, and how to reverse it.

So these two main camps are as follows: the first one says that fat causes insulin resistance. And the second says that, that carbs cause insulin resistance. I’ll explain both sides, give you the facts, look at the research, explain the mechanism of each, and let you decide, which one makes more sense to you.
