The importance of a large protein meal to spike insulin on prolonged carnivore? (hackertalks.com)

I've seen some discussion about the need to occasionally spike insulin on a carnivore diet. That some people will have issues if they don't eat a large bolus of protein, but break up their eating into many small meals and thus never have a occasional insulin spike.

I haven't seen any research on this, just speculation by Bart Kay. Mechanistically it is appealing, but I wonder what experience or data other people have seen?

TLDR its better to eat one big protein meal then many small protein snacks while doing carnivore.

Always having elevated insulin is bad

Never having a insulin spike is also bad (research? where?)

Therefore the ideal scenario is mostly low insulin with very infrequent spikes.

Something like that, I've seen this as a mechanistic explanation for why some long term carnivores like Saladino had issues
