I’ve often been asked, in various forms and fashions, why I don’t bother with tracking my insulin response to various consumption and/or activity inputs and events. My response has always been, “what’s the point?” The fact of the matter is that insulin will increase even following a strict Paleo meal — hell, insulin will increase [...]
