Are you suggesting that insulin only responds to carbohydrate intake? I understand insulin plays an important role in shuttling all macronutrients from the GI tract into tissues, even if that action is somewhat different for fats, proteins, and carbs. (ie insulin binds to fat cells to reduce fat mobilization in a fed state)

Here you can see while its not the exact same, the insulin scores of beef & rice (brown especially) are very close to each other. Definitely much closer than most popular culture advice would suggest.

But it should also be said that this is for healthy individuals.
