    Hello, this is my first post. I have been doing CBL for approx 4 weeks and the top of my abs are starting to show through, happy days.My sister is insulin resistant.Will CBL work for the insulin resistant population?Also.. Coffee in the morning / afternoon. I have been having a long black, one sweetener (not sugar) and whipped cream on top. Is this acceptable on CBL, should I have whipped cream in both the morning and afternoon?? ThanksPat

    Whipped cream OR Heavy whipping cream?  there is a HUGE difference?  Whipped cream is sweet, HWC is pure milk fat, no sweetner.

    BumpAnyone who is insulin resistant on carb back loading? What were your results and does the daily routine / foods need to be tweaked?

    Depends. Is this a diagnosed resistance? I would have said I was insulin resistant before trying IF/CBL. After losing a bunch of bodyfat I can basically say its a non-issue.

    yes, sister has been diagnosed with insulin resistance. I just want to know if carb back loading is a good fit and will work for somebody who has that condition.ThanksPat

    Better than anything else. But she could just ditch the carbs and go on CNS

    I would not go on CBL if i was insulin resistant.Kiefer drives home the idea of driving your insulin sky high."Insulin resistance (IR) is a physiological condition where cells are no longer able to respond to the normal actions of the hormone insulin. Cells are not able to take in glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. Thus, glucose, fatty acids and amino acids 'leak' out of the cells. A decrease in insulin/glucagon ratio inhibits glycolysis which in turn decreases energy production. The resulting increase in blood glucose may raise levels outside the normal range and cause adverse health effects, depending on dietary conditions.[1] Certain cell types such as fat and muscle cells require insulin to absorb glucose. When these cells fail to respond adequately to circulating insulin, blood glucose levels rise. The liver helps regulate glucose levels by reducing its secretion of glucose in the presence of insulin. This normal reduction in the liver’s glucose production may not occur in people with insulin resistance.[2]" ~ wikipedia.org

    While this is true, remember that part of the CBL framework relies on insulin resistance.The reasons we take carbs at night is because we become insulin resistant as the day goes on, both in muscle and fat cells, but when we add resistance training to the mix we translocate tGULT to the surface of muscle cells which will allow muscles to absorb glucose without insulin being needed to cause the translocation.Kiefer partly based CBL of research showing diabetic patients reaction intaking carbs after resistance training.I'm sure it would be better then a SAD that most doctors would recommend for a diabetic patient, but I don't know how well it would work. Carb nite would likely work better and be safer.
