Interesting. So your body is always adapting to what is available. How do carbs influence hydration? I think that’s the tricky part for me because I’ve heard insulin spikes affect your electrolyte balance.

Glucose helps transport sodium and potassium molecules into cells. Btw, a common misconception is carbs = insulin (and insulin = bad). Proteins are insulogenic too, often even with a higher insulin response. Whey for example is VERY insulinogenic but still promotes fat loss.
