Sugar tolerance?

Explanation: Insulin levels and insulin resistance. Look dat shit up.

Isn't IR and just an effect of pre/diabetes? I thought if you're normal insulin isn't really a problem.

Its a progressive disease, meaning you dont just all of a sudden have diabetes. Your cells overtime downregulate insulin cell receptors, causing insulin resistance.

I was pretty much the same.
When I ate ridiculously clean, then would have cake for birthday or fast food because I had to, I would get sick as shit.
Now I eat that stuff somewhat regularly (maybe 1 or 2x a week) and not really the same effects

I did keto succesfully once a few years ago (for several months) and while I was on it, things that don't normally taste sweet or even have sugar in them started to taste sweet. Natural peanut butter specifically, for instance.

Your tastes probably just changed. You can't build up sugar tolerance because it's literally the most basic form of energy your body uses.

youre really dumb

It's not a tolerance, it's normalization. You don't think your own house has a distinct smell, but it does - you don't notice because you're living in it all the time ie: you normalize it.

People get so used to eating overly sweet foods that they just get used to it and think anything else tastes bland/gross.

Now that you've normalized less shitty food you can taste all that sugary trash you used to like.

So by not overloading them with glucose, your IR reverses itself?

Well there's a whole variation in insulin sensitivity within the "normal" range.


Some of it may just be physiological tolerance to higher blood sugar levels. If you eat shit all the time, yes your blood sugar is higher, yes it's shit for you, but your body has also adapted to just feeling normal when that happens.

Yes.
Intermittent fasting has shown great benefit to IR too
