A High Sugar Diet Reverses Insulin Resistance (Yes, It Works)
Author: Freelee | thebananagirl.com
You are being lied to about insulin resistance. A lot of popular voices online are obsessed with blood sugar spikes and terrified of fruit, yet they skip the basic physiology that actually explains what is going on.
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. Its job is not to harm you. Its job is to deliver glucose to your cells. Every one of your trillions of cells relies on sugar as fuel. After you eat, glucose rises in the bloodstream. That is normal. Insulin then “knocks” and helps glucose enter the cell.
Insulin resistance happens when the delivery keeps arriving but the door does not open. Glucose and insulin build up in the bloodstream, not because sugar is the problem, but because glucose is being locked out of the cell.
What locks it out is lipotoxicity. Excess dietary fat and fat stored in the wrong places interferes with glucose entry. Imagine your cell as a room. Fat inside the room clutters behind the door so it cannot swing open. Fat outside the room coats the lock so the keyhole jams. The delivery guy is still doing his job, but the delivery fails.
This is why the pancreas sends more insulin. It is trying to survive. High insulin is not proof that insulin is the enemy. It is proof the body is pushing harder against a blocked door.
The fastest way to improve insulin sensitivity is to lower dietary fat and increase carbohydrates, especially fruit based carbs. In a low fat context, sugar is not the issue. It is the solution because it keeps you fueled and satisfied so you stop reaching for fatty calorie dense foods.
Exercise strengthens the effect. Contracting muscles pull glucose into the cell without needing insulin, and muscle work helps burn fat stored inside muscle cells. This directly supports reversal of insulin resistance.
My practical formula is simple. Fruit plus sugar as needed, fat very low, and daily muscle use. This is how you restore insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar without fear.
