And so, yeah, it's nice to know.

In other words, there's many roads to roam.

And so...

I do.

I'm just trying to, you know, there's definitely a lot of diet wars out there.

And I do think it's important to keep in mind that biology is complicated.

There's a lot of things going on here.

And yes, having a low carb diet can be very beneficial for insulin sensitivity, for staving off insulin resistance.

But there's also people that are not going to eat a low carb diet and they can still be very metabolically healthy, particularly if they're avoiding refined carbohydrates, they're exercising, they're not overeating, they're not in a caloric surplus.

And then there's people that hear saturated fat's okay and they don't quite understand the whole context of it and they'll eat a lot of carbs with it.

And that's the worst case scenario where you're combining the two.

Right.

It's true.

I definitely want to get more into some of what you touched on, but I kind of want to just complete this, talk a little bit more about what's the underlying cause of insulin resistance.

We've talked about diet composition.

That's a big one.

What about meal frequency?

So how often you're eating, if you're a snacker, if you're when you're eating, if you're late night eating, or if you're a shift worker, how does that play a role?

Yeah.

Okay.
