[QUOTE="yetta2mymom, post: 1581330, member: 279057"] Hi There are a lot of people (amount varies with the society) which process sugar differently than the way in the literature (maybe 1/2 the people in India). All humans have hormones which can produce insulin resistance. These hormones are produced in the placenta in pregnant women and are produced (?) elsewhere in the body. The other group of people are much more efficient in processing sugar since they allow their blood sugar to float until it gets too high.and avoid changing sugar into fat and then fat into sugar (lose up to 1/3 (boy that is a lot) of the energy when you do this). One problem with this form of sugar processing is that women in pregnancy become diabetic since if they stopped the hormones that would also tend to stop the hormones for the fetus. The fetus would die. People with this form of sugar processing do not lose weight on a low carb diet. This is true because you lose weight on such a diet is that you produce insulin to handle protein, otherwise you would have a build up of amonia and after a while you would die.
