Fat and insulin

There is a theory that fat cells won't grow in the absence of insulin, which is of course our body's natural response to sugars.
So theoretically you could eat a high fat, very low carb diet and have difficulty storing any of those extra fat calories.

Was wondering if any of our heavy cream drinkers have tried something like this or could confirm anecdotally. Would be an interesting experiment to only consume fats for several days.

Don't do that. A fat only diet will have a laxative effect. Also a high fat, low carb diet is just keto.

I'm sure someone has already done it. I just want to know what happened.

Yes, I basically was doing that when I was attempting to gain and didn’t realise I was diabetic.

I was taking in 10,000 cal per day and losing weight.

It was really, *really* awful.

Ironically, a symptom of out of control diabetes is weight loss

Hun, I said what I said. Don't encourage people to kill themselves.

Munchies, you must be the biggest person on here just by your ego alone. How anyone can constantly try to play the morality hall monitor on a site and community that literally praises people for being unhealthy is beyond me.
Asking people about their experiences for educational purposes is hardly encouraging them to kill themselves.
If you don't have anything to contribute to a thread, then why respond? Discourse and disagreement is fine. But you constantly try to shame people out of participating in conversations and topics. Be as offended as you want, just do it without trying to bully everyone else in the forums.

Precisely. I diagnosed it myself when it suddenly occurred to me, “perhaps this is diabetes”, and borrowed a friend’s blood glucose monitor. The reading was too high for the device to measure.

It’s all under control now.

Oh wow! I am so happy you figured it out and have it under control.

Lmao! Man, I ain't even being mean to you.

There's asking people about their experiences (perfectly fine) and then there is encouraging people to put themselves in harms way for an experiment.

Besides, I answered your question in my first post. The answer to your question is very well studied and documented. If handled carefully, a high fat, low carb diet is keto. If handled poorly, you shit your pants for days.

And if you are a diabetic, you go to the hospital.
