Do You Have to Lower Insulin?

According to Dr. Berg, it all has to do with the "relationship between insulin and fat storage using different size batteries. This big battery represents your fat. This small tiny battery represents how much sugar you have in your liver that's stored," he says. "So how do we transition from the sugar to the fat? Well, we have to lower insulin. So, the intermittent fasting tips I'm gonna show you have one goal: to drop insulin. So you make this transition from sugar burning to fat burning."

RDN Says: "Insulin is not bad. It is necessary to clear glucose from all foods we eat, not just "sugar." How well insulin works depends on many lifestyle and hereditary factors. Each individual has varying degrees of insulin sensitivity."
