>We are supposed to be IF every day between meals. It used to shock me when I was in school in France and my fellow students would say, at 4 pm, that they were just STARVING. But they would not eat anything. Because it wasn’t a meal time. We Amis just eat whenever it sounds good.
It’s suspected that high carb snacking is the cause of type 2 diabetes. The fat storage cycle is interrupted by constant high insulin levels which in turn blocks insulin receptors in cells.
I believe it. There is also correlation between high carb and Alzheimer’s. I am the primary caregiver for my mom with it. She is all about sugar. She is clearly addicted even though I feed her protein rich meals, bread maybe 1x a week, one serving of fruit after protein a day, and one dessert only right after dinner (because she gets sooooo much pleasure out of it). When I take her to a grocery store, she will only pick up a sugar product. Has never asked for anything without sugar, never a veggie or a protein. She is clearly addicted to sugar even with a fairly low carb intake. Some say Alzheimer’s is another form of diabetes. I could kind of see it.
