Every time you eat, your insulin spikes a bit, regardless of what you're eating. My guess is the constant insulin spikes, which can have a bad effect on one's health over a long period of time, is what the OP meant.
Low-glycemic foods only cause modest insulin spikes, but I don't believe u/LanaForge was talking about severity of the spikes.
Bottom line, eating less often will cause insulin to spike less often. Whether it's a modest or severe spike, the goal should be to reduce these spikes as often as possible, especially if you're pre-diabetic.
Intermittent fasting works, just like keto does. For me, OMAD works very well. The important thing is getting your insulin under control if you want to lose weight. Your body needs to be able to use your fat stores in order for weight loss to happen.
