Hi
I have the "hunter" gene. I am usually insulin resistant. If I hadn't developed reactive hypoglycemia this is no problem. Us people cut the hormones (probably the same ones found in the placenta) when necessary. We can live forever (not quite that long) on a hunter gatherer diet. I have lived on a low carb diet for over 12 years. How can I tell the low carb people that people like us exist? One weakness of our gene is that the women can not cut the hormones when they are pregnant since that would cut the hormones in the placenta and the fetus would die. They have gestational diabetes. As far as I can tell they are all (almost all?) the women who get gestational diabetes. Another (problem?) is since we do not usually bother to change sugar into fat and then fat into sugar we save a lot of energy. I have read that up to (usually less) 1/3 of the energy is lost when you do that. In the present society we tend to be fat. I have posted on the gestational diabetes form and a truncated version of that post seems to be left there for forever. I am now losing weight by removing a lot of fat from my diet. Do you suggest any other form?
