protein is insulinogenic like carbs, but it also induces glucagon release.
so eating a lot of protein isn't a problem if you don't eat any carbs with it. but it's a good idea to eat some fat with your protein.
gng is mostly demand-driven, not supply-driven.
also forgot to post this link explaining the insulin/glucagon effects of protein depending on whether they're combined with carbs or not: https://youtu.be/z3fO5aTD6JU?t=964 (watch from 16:04 onwards)
so how much protein per meal for someone with insulin resistance?

as long as you're not eating carbs, it doesn't matter.
but for optimal muscle gains, you should eat 30-40 g per meal, 4 times per day. (if you only want to eat two meals a day, eat 60-80 g per meal)

yes, if you have insulin resistance you shouldn't eat over maintenance. and if you're obese, you should eat at a caloric deficit.

slowly increase intake of vegetables and fatty foods. then slowly increase intake of non-processed (complex) carbs and fruit.

>vegetables and fatty foods
i'm going to be eating these on my keto diet but thanks i'll do what you said
sorry, I was being unclear, which is why I deleted my post to rephrase.
both PSMF and keto are fine, and you should do the one you can stick to most easily.
most important thing for fixing insulin resistance is eating less than 20 g carbs per day. most important thing for losing weight is a caloric deficit.
you posted the forbidden word
yes, not eating any carbs will lower and normalize insulin and blood glucose levels. not eating processed food will also do that though.
is it true that too much protein turns into carbs so i should control protein too?
i can eat like 600g chicken breast in one sitting...

What about gluconeogenesis?

okay, i guess i could just do a PSMF instead of keto
