The Carb-Insulin Hypothesis vs Protein Leverage Hypothesis of Obesity
I’ve recently been having some ‘robust discussion’ on social media around what I think amounts to the Carb-Insulin Model vs the Protein Leverage Hypothesis of obesity and diabetes.

Perhaps the biggest differentiator between keto and other successful versions of a lower-carb diet like Atkins, Paleo, Bernstein, Banting, and Carnivore is the misguided fear that ‘excess protein’ keeps ketones low and insulin high through the process of gluconeogenesis. Ever since Jimmy Moore broadcasted the idea that protein could convert to sugar via gluconeogenesis and, …

Does Too Much Protein Accelerate Aging?
Professors Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer have identified what appears to be the universal explanation for obesity – the Protein Leverage Hypothesis. The Protein Leverage Hypothesis demonstrates how our appetite for protein will drive excess energy intake and, consequently, obesity when the proportion of protein in our diet is low. However, counterintuitively, they also caution …
