[QUOTE="Miss_Dior, post: 859098, member: 181785"] As I said, I am no scientist, nor do I play one on the internet, but according to my reading IR is a response to overfeeding. It's as if your cells are saying, "stop feeding me! I've had enough! I need a break!" Perhaps pregnancy IR is your thrifty and efficient genes kicking into hyper-gear, saying "I'm being overfed" at normal food intake levels. Fasting seem to benefit everyone - except children, pregnant women and the already very thin. In the distant past, pregnant women fasted, not by choice, but by necessity. Our species had to find a way to survive. Your deep ancestors got through a lot of difficulties and hard times to produce you. Now you have their genes, in a massively easier environment. When you got pregnant, your metabolism became very efficient. That's how I think of IR. It's not essentially a defect but a bodily defense. What is the body defending against? Just a thought.
