Gut flora is really complicated and we don’t know a huge amount about it. You should look into MCT oil as this purportedly positively effects gut flora. If you try it, however, go slow at first.
A good test as to your insulin reactions is to notice what happens if you don’t eat until you have been up for, say, five hours. If you become consumed with hunger pains it’s a sign of weakness. Your caveman body should be able to easily go this long without food unless your sugar-hungry gut flora have hijacked your brain to send you “feed us now!” signals.
MCT oil is an intersting suggestion, but I will likely not try anything new here in combination with fasting—that is bound to create confounding which I wil be unable to unentangle.
If I don’t eat breakfast in the morning I don’t develop any pronounced hunger until midday. But I notice that cycling or brisk walking without breakfast makes me feel somewhat weak (not that I’d develop hunger because of it).
