5 Sneaky Foods Raising Insulin (Even on Keto)

Video Description

In this video, Dr. Eric Westman reacts to a popular “5 sneaky foods” list that may raise insulin even when carbs look low: diet soda, lean chicken breast, egg whites, protein bars with sweeteners, and BCAAs. We discuss insulin vs glucose, why a normal CGM doesn’t always tell the full story, and the difference between theory and clinical results. Drawing on decades of practice reversing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance at Duke, Dr. Westman explains where these claims may help, where evidence is thin, and how context (keto vs non-keto, fat intake, total carbs, compliance) changes the outcome. You’ll hear why he often uses non-sugar sweeteners short-term to get patients off sugar, why “protein spikes insulin” needs nuance, and when ultra-processed “keto” snacks can derail progress. Stay to the end for practical takeaways you can use today. #Keto #InsulinResistance #LowCarb #DietSoda #ArtificialSweeteners #BCAAs #DrEricWestman 👁️ Seen a video you'd like me to react to?
