I'm going to take a stab at this and suggest that trying to change your insulin sensitivity is like trying to slow a train. I don't think you can turn it around in a matter of days. Even the atkins diet explains the first two weeks with "no" (under 25gms/day) carbs is required to even start this process. I believe changing your insulin sensitivity is a long term goal, and if truly that is what you want to do, then you need to think a diet similar to what a diabetic would eat. Typically, I would think "low carbs" would mean under 50 grams a day, after your induction phase. To achieve improved insulin sensitivity, yes, typically you would expect a low carb diet. However, with such a diet, it usually would be an "all or nothing" approach, meaning you cannot pick which days you are on or off. With low carb, you are off, otherwise, you are on. Low carb is a strict diet.Originally Posted by the big 1
