Insulin Expert: How To 'Drain' Your Liver of Fat (Do This!)

TL;DR

Insulin is the master hormone controlling energy storage, and lowering it via a ketogenic diet (low carb, high fat/protein) is the most practical and sustainable weight loss strategy—more effective than calorie restriction, which drives hunger and regain. Ketones produced in ketosis serve as the brain’s preferred fuel, reduce cravings, improve metabolic rate, and benefit heart function.

Key insights

• Insulin tells every cell what to do with energy; it is so determined to store energy that it slows the metabolic engine to store more.
• Two isocaloric meals (same calories) produce different metabolic rates: a low‑carb, high‑fat meal raises metabolic rate for hours afterward, while a high‑carb meal does not.
• High‑carb meals spike insulin, driving energy from blood into fat and liver, leaving the brain starved—causing brain fog and hunger despite ample stored fat.
