That's called type 2 diabetes too btw.

If you read carefully what I wrote you will see that I said protein and fat raise insulin very little....this is of course in comparison with some carbs that spike it a lot...
I fully understand that everything is converted to sugar, but the insulin is lower nevertheless...in the absense of too much insulin, leptin does its job...you are never hungry...fasting is easy...results come quick...
As for protein I am on around 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight...it is amazing how little protein we actually need, especially people who work out a lot...no muscle waste at all...the stpidest mistake I ever made was to follow the diet advice from body builders on protein intake in BB mags...whey protein powder spikes the shit out of my insulin...but meat will not...it all depends on the source...
