cephalic hyperinsulinemia

Is there such a thing as cephalic hyperinsulinemia?

Hyperinsulinemia is too much insulin, usually related to insulin resistance, but is there any need to associate it with insulin resistance or is just a diet high in carbohydrates enough?

Insulin is released in three phases, cephalic, postprandial, and basial. So what would be the symptoms of cephalic hyperinsulinema? Hunger at the site of food... the physiological part of tempation? Quick to hunger, always ready to eat, overweight likely. Sounds like me.

When I asked my GP, he said, perhaps, but we have no treatment, therefore it is not a recognised condition. WHF. I have not been back, but then I am now low carb.

High insulin shut off the release of fat, and soaks up any free glucose, so that craving type of hunger occurs. It is the worst type of hunger, the hardest to resist. Coconut oil helps. Instant ketones, we cannot store MCT. Instant energy.

Addiction vs Hyperinsulinemia

Note that Carbohydrate Addiction and transient postprandial reactive Hyperinsulinemia are different critters, but are both set off by carbohydrate load and dense carbohydrates with a high caloric density.

Carbohydrate addiction is a endorphin opioid reward hedonic response low impulse issue. 

Transient postprandial reactive hyperinsulinemia is a after some meals reaction of excess insulin.

Both produce cravings or a hunger for carbohydrates. In the case of hyperinsulinemia, mild exercise will reduce the hunger through GLUT4 transporter.

The Order of Occurrence

Suppose the order of occurrence is as follows:
hyperinsulinemia
subclinical low blood sugar
hunger
eating
insulin production
insulin overproduction
hyperinsulinemia

the result will be obesity

The solution then is eat in such a manner to not produce insulin, ie eat high fat, low carbs, little protein.
