Low Carb diet = impossible to build muscle?
I just discovered that i am Insulin Resistant.
All the problems i had with concentration,studying,mental problems were all related to Carbohydrates.
Finally i know what the problem is.
But my question is it possible to live a healthy lifestyle and build muscle as a insulin resistant person?
For you guys heres what insulin resistant is:
In a person with normal metabolism, insulin is released from the beta (β) cells of the Islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas after eating ("postprandial"), and it signals insulin-sensitive tissues in the body (e.g., muscle, adipose) to absorb glucose to lower blood glucose. The beta cells reduce their insulin output as blood glucose levels fall, with the result that blood glucose is maintained at approximately 5 mmol/L (mM) (90 mg/dL).
In an insulin-resistant person, normal levels of insulin do not have the same effect on muscle and adipose cells, with the result that glucose levels stay higher than normal. To compensate for this, the pancreas in an insulin-resistant individual is stimulated to releases more insulin. The elevated insulin levels have additional effects (see insulin) which further cause biological effects throughout the body.
-Elevated insulin for me cause my blood sugar to drop Quickly below 5 , can reach 3.2, 3.5, which is way too low and is called "hyploglecimia".
