Hi I'm new to the forum but I've read 2nd edition Ori's book and I've been practicing the warrior diet for 6 months now.

Recently, I've been looking into insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.  In his book Ori claims that controlled fasting (not exceeding 18 hours) lowers insulin levels and increases insulin sensitivity.  However, the general medical perception seems to be that skipping meals/fasting leads to insulin resitance.  Below are just a couple things I found on google (I know they aren't 100% credible).

So I'm a little confused as to the effects that controlled fasting has on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels.  Can anyone explain this?

thx

The first link is really solid if you ask me.And with all the sources i dont know if you should follow Oris recommendation or not.But you can always test your insulin during the day cant you?

Also,ok fasting can have some negative effects as the first site states but how about undereating during the day with low gi veggies and perhaps fruits?
