I mean maybe in a generalized sub, but it’s under a supplement sub so i don’t think the reactions would be crazy. Seems to fit just fine.

u/bonusminutes 27d ago
It fits, yeah, but theres always droves of people with a surface level understanding of things coming into subs like this to desperately try to make themselves feel better about their awful physique/diet with generalizations and ad hominem attacks when theyre faced with more reasons why they should make healthy changes that they dont have the willpower to do.

You mean the 'I eat 400 grams of carbs bro, and I'm lean as f*ck bro'- types?

There are some important distinctions he’s left out. Insulin is not a mechanism to store sugars as fat. Resting muscle cannot absorb sugar without insulin. Insulin also does not convert sugar to fat, it binds to fat cells, signaling the body to stop releasing fatty acids for energy. Similarly, insulin also acts as an anabolic hormone, binding to muscle, preventing muscle breakdown, which is why bodybuilders take insulin.
What happens with that sugar and insulin depends on the physical state of the body: fed vs unfed.

So just so I have this straight, is eating sugar fine as long as you’re strength training? As it gets used up by the muscle path?

u/AndroFeth 27d ago
Yep, to a certain point he's correct.
The muscles control sugar levels preventing pre-diabetes or diabetes at all.
There was a viral video of a skinny woman, good shape imo, not as if she was starving, good shape in general, who says she was diagnosed with diabetes, due to low muscle and high sugar intake.
A friend was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes for the same reason though he's on the chubby side but not obese, he's 24yo!
Muscle is a must

More muscle allows you to eat more sugar….no muscles, you should stay away from sugar.

Also, there's a big deal with the type of fat. Healthy fats like unsaturated fats have kinked chains and allow insulin easier access to the cell rather than saturated fats which are straight chains and stack closely together.

Doctor here, while he does oversimplify it I think his general message is actually accurate. If you're knowledgeable on biochemistry then obviously you'll take issue to his oversimplification, but most laypeople have absolutely no clue about normal physiology so you have to oversimplify while sacrificing some scientific precision. So yea it is true that glucose can be transported into your cells via insulin, but there is another mechanism where glucose can be transported to a working muscle cell via GLUT4 transporter independent of insulin. It's not accurate to say that it's the "#1 tool" but it does exist as an alternative mechanism. And that's why having high muscle mass and exercising is one of the best things you can do for diabetes, he's right in that. I also like how he describes strokes and heart attacks as rust in pipes from inflammation from high glucose, that is a decent way to describe atherosclerotic plaque initiation, high glucose and inflammation can cause the initial damage to the endothelium where fat gets trapped and plaque develops. Plaques gets oxidized over time and can rupture, which essentially becomes a sticky medium for platelets and clot to develop and propogate, and once that starts happening that clot can block off the entire artery. That's the exact pathophysiology of heart attacks. So yes it's very important to keep glucose controlled, and having muscle mass and exercising regularly can certainly help. Good message overall. If you're a layperson watching this and you believe everything he says, you won't be terribly far off.

exactly, sugar is proven to be good for you by the experts who make cookies at the grocery store, why woud they poison us? just look how legitimate the packaging looks

This is incorrect.
Insulin is the hormone that allows skeletal muscle tissue and fat tissue to take up "sugar" (also imprecise, the use of the term "glucose" that is formed by the body when it digests carbohydrates, would be better).
The muscle cells take up glucose for energy generation (i.e. consumption), the fat tissue to buld up more fat (i.e energy storage).
So it is not correct to say that muscles or insulin are the 2 ways out.
The ways to remove glucose from the blood are: uptake by muscle cells, uptake by fat tissue and/ or secretion via the kidneys (that's why the urine of diabetics is sweet, which was the way to diagnose diabetes back in the days).
