Why would high levels of Glucagon be optimal in our systems?


We know that high levels of glucagon oppose insulin resistance, so it stands to reason that the higher levels of glucagon in the system the less likely someone is to becomeing insulin resistant. We know that glucagon is released during a high protein meal and hunger. This would lay claim to two practies that we promote on this site. The eating of protein...and when we (Robb Wolf) say protein we mean "something with a face or soul", not beans or tofu; these vegetable based proteins are pretenders and are not to be trusted. The second practice is intermittent fasting or IR. Both have shown to stimulate the production of glucagon thus helping us avoid insulin sensitivity and eventual diabetes.
