EX-e: INSULIN - How does it affect your HUNGER HORMONES? [Science Explained] 

I think it important to have noted the diabetics were Type 2, and not Type 1. Otherwise, interesting finding.

Just wanna say again I love your videos. You're really dedicated to your RU-vid channel. So many videos for so many years, very impressive honestly

It also doesn’t necessarily explain why after a high carb meal, which leads to higher insulin, people with insulin resistance like me are absolutely ravenous two hours later. There’s a bunch of counter-regulatory hormones designed to pull sugar out of cells and push food seeking behaviour to deal with the reactive hypoglycaemia induced by hyperinsulinaemia

Nice breakdown, thanks!

I watch all your videos relative to my health condition. It helps me to become healthier. Thank you

Thank you! This video was so helpful. I'm curious about how this would impact people who eat keto or carnivore over the long-term as some of them experience "insulin suppression," (term was coined by Dr. Cywes), where they've become so insulin sensitive that it becomes a problem, as GLP-1 system is not actively able to release insulin very well. I believe this can lead to blood sugar imbalances, sleep disruptions, and the issue of "never feeling full" after eating. If the person tries to add in carbs, they may experience reactive hypoglycemia. I've been dealing with these issues and many people will recommend that you just "go back to your old way of eating," but it's very tricky if you've eaten carnivore for more than a few months. Your digestive system may not be able to handle or tolerate things like vegetables very well and it's a very slow process for some people to introduce things back in. Since carnivore is such a hot topic, I am hoping you might see this comment and do a video on this! I have been researching it incessantly, searching for answers. I did carnivore a year ago as an elimination diet and experiment and have struggled to work my way back out of it, for the reasons mentioned. People talk about the benefits but don't often dive into the problems or struggles & if they do, they often brush them off without doing any research. In addition to what you shared here, which was fascinating, I also found that gastric emptying is faster when eating all meat and this can also contribute to increases in ghrelin, possible blood sugar issues and sleep disturbances. One common issue among carnivores is waking up at 3 AM. Anyway, thank you again for this video - it helped immensely!

Man this topic is so complicated, insulin doesn't feel like it should be the new "enemy", it's literally doing what it's supposed to do. Are there studies that compare insulin levels and ghrelin/leptin measurements in a whole food vs processed food diet? I'm speaking entirely based on experience as someone who's been obese most of his life, but I feel that highly processed (sugar, refined carbs, etc) products don't have the same effect on my body than whole foods with high GI, the psychological aspect (addiction) of refined carbs or processed food to me at least is very real, anyway, this was very informative, thanks again Nicolas.

I love your videos. Thank you for presenting the data so clearly and then explaining what it implies. So informative and interesting. I’ve always gotten more hungry after I’ve eaten. Always. It would be great to have your opinion on what you think that means. And could I do something to change that?

Awesome! you are always on point!

In order to eat more protein it looks like I have to increase ghrelin, decrease leptin and decrease insulin. For each pound of body weight I need a gram of protein. This is a challenge.

Would you please attach the study link in your description 🙏

Well done Nic, great job

What about leptin levels when on carnivore diet considering ketone ability to blunt appetite

Excellent as always. In the real world this would hint at people with diabetes type 2 would not get the same fullness and still be hungry after a meal compared to a normal person?

Thanks!!

So basically insulin sensitive people would be more likely to be hungry after a meal because the insulin effect is less on their hunger hormones. Jees that's hard to write. Hence people in real life get fatter due to eating more over time as they become more insulin sensitive. Compound interest right there... So there is a relationship between insulin and getting fat although insulin doesnt make you fat. Got it.. phew .

This debunks the assumption and blaming food rich in carbs which release more insulin, to be addictive in nature and not satieting!

Well...that sort of went right over my head. Maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee yet.

Tiny study though so take it with a grain of salt
