I wasn't aware that I had asked a question. The theory that we all have a fat threshold comes, I believe, from Roy Taylor, and is not a mainstream viewpoint. I happen to accept this as a possibility, but what we seem to have missed, and he has missed too, is that there are two ways IR operates. One seems to be due to hepatic fat excess, as demonstrated so well by Roy Taylor, but there is also mitochondrial IR in the muscle and skin tissue. He has not provided proof that both of these are dealt with adequately by his protocol.
One IR is governed by the Krebs Cycle, and the other by the TCA cycle. The Krebs cycle is controlled primarily by insulin and adrenaline, and the TCA cycle by other enzymes such as grehlin and its adjunct whose name I forget. These enzymes are from different organs in the body, so may well have different mechanisms in terms of IR, and so different solutions supposedly. So I do not consider Roy Taylor has a silver bullet for us. He introdus=ces us to a useful tool, thats all.
I agree that BMI is a poor indicator of poor health. I didn't say otherwise, but it is the current definition of obesity. My wife was 8 stone when I married her, but children and life ballooned her to 19 stone. I had hovered at 9 stone TOFI for most of my adult life. I got diabetes, my wife did not, I ballooned to 18 stone after DX, but am now back to 10 stone. I still have diabetes. My weight was caused by diabetes, not the other way round.
Interesting, I like Dr Aitken though, behind his thinking everyone has their own carbohydrate threshold, if stepped over, weight gain occurs.
To kick start weight loss carbs reduced for 2 weeks, to boost metabolism, once weight loss achieved to the desired goal. Then carbs are introduced, if weight gain began then carb threshold has been reached.
Makes the best sense.
Bmi was introduced for those who were malnourished under weight and height for their age group, observations were made by anthropologists, the differences between school age kids in areas of squalor was rife rather than those in privilege backgrounds.
Changes of height and weight gain occurred achieved through better nutrition.
It is now an outdated tool.
