1034. Fat Is Fuel: Healthy Eating Habits without Fear

A recent article sent to Dr. Martin is saying that insulin resistance is caused by fat. That statement is factually correct, but they’re wrong on the source of the fat. The article is saying that fat comes from the greasy, fatty foods we eat. Dr. Martin disagrees. Fat doesn’t make you fat. It never did. The fat that causes insulin resistance comes from eating sugars and carbohydrates. If your body doesn’t immediately need that energy, it has to store it somewhere. That excess energy ends up being stored as fat in your liver, and that’s what causes insulin resistance. not the consumption of fat. Join Dr. Martin as he discusses the article and debunks the erroneous claims. He also teaches about diabetes and explains why you don’t need to fear fat!
