Good answer, I agree.
However, what about insulin resistance in the more obsese individuals? We both know that the fatter the more resistant they are. Wouldn't be better to eliminate processed food at the begining to avoid insulin spikes an further the resistance and storage tendencies?
Define Processed food. Anything canned is processed. Anything Frozen is Processed. Anything with fortified vitamins are processed. Anything with salt is processed.
Processed is a dumb term, understood by few.
Insulin production directly related to energy intake. It is impossible to have high Insulin levels with low calories.
Furthermore, The GI index is looked down upon as useless by the American Diabetic Association as well as the American Medical Association.
It is impossible to store fat in a caloric deficit. It is also impossible to get a high insulin spike with low calories.
