Whey and insulin sensitivity

Hello Dr. Feigenbaum.

You mentioned in one of your lectures that whey creates a large insulin response. If I’m taking whey protein multiple times a day, should I be worried about insulin resistance?
Is the response to whey different than if I ate a large amount of sugar?

(I’m lean and eat a very clean diet otherwise, but I’m 41).

Thanks!
Chris

Not at all. All protein intake increases insulin levels, but meal related insulin spikes don’t really drive insulin resistance per se’. It’s more related to body fat, inflammation, and total calorie intake.

Thank you very much for the answers!

Carry on brother!
