[QUOTE="Miss_Dior, post: 859519, member: 181785"] I've seen things like that. I came across a metabolic ward study that showed no weight loss in obese subjects. It was very depressing...I didn't bookmark it. I think one of the mysteries is what really happens to insulin levels when BG rises. We take a rise in BG as a proxy/clue for insulin levels but who knows what's really going on? The models are based on "normal" people. (and mice.) They make it sound as if the body works brilliantly - you eat something and the body produces just the right amount of insulin and it all works perfectly. So you "should" be able to lose weight if you cut calories. Well, why do the experts think that people with metabolic issues follow their models? Suppose as a result of eating sugary type carbs my body produces MORE insulin than it needs to clear the BG. Then I'm hungry again very quickly. Or, maybe my IR is preventing the glucose from getting into the cells...still hungry. So many unknowns. [/QUOTE]
