I don’t know how to edit my comment below. The first person mentioned is Dr. Cyrus Khambatta. The link I included didn’t go through so here it is again:

Have you heard of Khambatta and Robby Barbaro? They are both diabetic and advocate a plant-based diet that is high carb and 15% fat. I see a lot of similarities with your approach but there are also some differences, especially regarding protein sources. Would love to hear your on it thoughts sometime (link below). Would also like to hear your thoughts on BCAAs and insulin resistance. Do you think it’s OK to take whey after resistance training twice a week?
