How Too Many Carbohydrates Can Lead to Arthritis

Arthritis is mostly driven by chronic inflammation, and consistently eating too many carbohydrates especially refined carbs and sugar, can fuel that inflammation.

Here’s how that happens:

1. Excess carbohydrates raise blood sugar.
When you eat a lot of carbs, your blood sugar spikes.

2. The body releases insulin to lower that sugar.
Frequent spikes mean chronically high insulin levels.

3. High insulin promotes inflammation.
Insulin signals the body to create inflammatory compounds.

4. Sugar damages proteins in the body.
Excess glucose attaches to proteins in a process called glycation, creating harmful molecules called AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products).

5. AGEs accumulate in joints.
These damaged proteins stiffen cartilage and connective tissue, which accelerates joint degeneration and pain.

6. Inflammation breaks down cartilage.
Over time, chronic inflammation damages the cartilage that cushions joints, contributing to arthritis and joint stiffness.

Eating more fatty meat can help arthritis mainly by reducing inflammation and providing nutrients that joints need to repair.

Here’s why:

1. Fatty meat helps keep insulin low.
When you eat meat instead of lots of carbohydrates, blood sugar and insulin stay lower. Lower insulin helps reduce inflammation, which is a major cause of arthritis pain.

2. Animal fat is naturally anti-inflammatory.
The fats found in meat (including saturated fat) don’t spike blood sugar and are stable fuels for the body, which helps calm inflammatory processes.

3. Meat provides the building blocks for joints.
Meat contains complete protein, collagen, glycine, and amino acids that the body uses to repair cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue.

4. It supplies key nutrients for joint health.
Fatty meat contains nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K2, zinc, and iron, which support bone strength, tissue repair, and immune balance.

5. Less inflammation allows healing.
When inflammation drops and the body has the nutrients it needs, joints often become less swollen, less painful, and more mobile.

If you have Arthritis, try eating more meat and less carbs. 😁🥩

Snacking Between Meals
By 𝒜𝓃𝑔𝒾𝑒 𝑀🌸𝒽𝓇

While not all snacks are inherently “bad,” constant snacking can hinder your body’s natural processes. Digestion demands a lot of energy and resources—think of it as diverting power from repair, healing, and fat-burning modes. Our ancestors didn’t graze on three square meals plus snacks; they often went hours (or days) without food, allowing the body to tap into stored fat for energy and trigger autophagy, a cellular cleanup process that recycles damaged parts for better health and longevity. Dr. Sten Ekberg emphasizes that skipping snacks during IF helps reverse insulin resistance by keeping insulin low, promoting ketosis (fat-burning state), and enhancing metabolic flexibility—your body gets better at switching between fuel sources without constant input. Similarly, Dr. Eric Berg warns that even “keto-friendly” snacks spike insulin (since any eating does), leading to plateaus in weight loss and reduced benefits; he advises eating them only with meals to minimize frequency.

Frequent carbs (even small amounts) throughout the day cause repeated blood sugar and insulin spikes, paving the way for insulin resistance, metabolic issues, and type 2 diabetes over time. Berg highlights how this constant “insulin drip” blocks fat adaptation and keeps you hungry, while Ekberg notes it disrupts hormone balance and inflammation control. If a snack is truly needed, opt for something low-carb like full-fat kefir with non-sugar sweeteners (e.g., stevia or monk fruit), a boiled egg or some avocado to avoid those spikes. But remember, the body thrives without constant food—it’s a good idea to save carbs for right before activity so they’re burned off quickly, not stored.

You already fast overnight during sleep, when detox and repair peak. Extending that (e.g., no evening or morning eating) amplifies benefits: more fat utilization, deeper detox, and reduced inflammation. I keep my carbs to once a day mostly, stabilizing blood sugar and preventing blood sugar/insulin roller coaster ride throughout the day. As Berg puts it, less frequent eating lets your body “normalize insulin” and heal.
