I am a third-year computer science student and I have no idea what you are talking about.

No idea what you call it in comp sci. Us mortals call it overcompensation. Take any negative feedback loop and make it overcompensate enough and it becomes a positive feedback loop. It was a problem with some of the very early robots. Whenever they tried to compensate for a shift in balance they'd overdo it, producing an increasing rocking motion that inevitably toppled them. Same idea with glucose-insulin spikes.

Too much easily available glucose triggers an insulin spike. That makes you hungry, so you eat more carbs, which releases more insulin, which... You see where this is going, yes?

What mechanism is she proposing when saying that protein you eat increases your blood glucose levels? Does eating protein (or some amino-acid) trigger gluconeogenesis like eating fructose or saturated fat does? Without explaining that, her diagram sounds like complete nonsense (and I think it actually is).

You understand that your argument is essentially "I don't understand the expert, so the expert must be wrong"? Compounding that with a failure to do basic research is impressive hubris. It took me about five clicks on Wikipedia to find this lovely diagram for you:

I don't think I will make YouTube videos any more, at least not any time soon. It takes way more effort to make a YouTube video than to write a blog-post, yet I fail to see that it reaches more people.
