While it is true that visceral fat is the first to go in non diabetic people, it is actually the opposite in highly insulin resistant people where visceral fat becomes so stubborn it may never go without extreme methods.

A slight modification to my theory: It makes more sense that the human body when in storage mode and wanting to keep the stored fat is to raise its insulin levels by inducing IR first in the muscles cells. This should be the simplest way to inviting the pancreas to raise its production of...

Sorry my reply was interrupted. I decided two days ago to finish the race with dignity. I still have 5 kg to waste. So I decided to water fast one more time probably for another 20 days. This should either make me achieve my aspiration or prove that I am on the wrong track. Will keep you...

Hi Diablo, I'm proud of what you're trying to achieve, and I believe it's doable. I would encourage you to talk to your Doctor to see if he would agree to take off the gliclizide, as it is an insulin secreting medication which goes against fat loss. I believe having higher BG is better than...

The current differentiation between type 1 and type 2 diabetes makes them look similar in scope to the patient. And misguide him to thinking that type 2 is only a blood glucose problem, downplaying the fact that it is a manifestation of an excessive fat origin. Renaming it to Lipodiabetes...

This is called the Dawn phenomenon. Your body gets you charged with energy in preparation for your daily chores.

Yes. What you eat induces insulin differently. And the amount/rate of insulin determines whether to store or use that nutrition.

The laws of thermodynamics state that if someone eats more than he expends, he should gain weight, and vice versa. Now the only explanation if this doesn't happen in a particular case is because there is a leak. If nutritions are not fully digested, they may leak with the stool or the urine...

Hi. If you insist on turning this to physics. GRAVITY is not a variable.

Clive. One pump only is connected to the two tanks.

Let me use the two tanks example one more time. Imagine two tanks on top of each other and connected to a ground water pump. When the pump is operated what will determine whether the water will start filling the lower tank first or both tanks together is the strength of the pump or the size of...

[Q. UOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 971199, member: 44622"]Right, so you are saying that excess carbs and fats go to subcutaneous cells first. I have not idea why the body should then divert to the visceral stores. Your analogy of water tanks is understood but not necessarily accepted. I know that...

[QUOTquestions ="Squire Fulwood, post: 971156, member: 44622"]An hypothesis worth reading and I only have one or two comments. to make. If a person just swallowed a high quantity of carbs and fat then why is this only sent to the visceral stores and not to the subcutaneous stores (or possibly...

Pioneering scientists are throwing away the old modality of treating T2DM and conquering new Lands. They compiled many data revolving around visceral fat being the root cause of the condition, but they have not yet put in place all the pieces of the puzzle. I am a 55 years old engineer, and...

More evidence is surfacing that visceral fat is the root cause of diabetes, not obesity. You can be obese and healthy if you don't carry the fat in the wrong places. Equally one can be skinny and unhealthy for having too much belly fat. As for slowing metabolism with losing weight. I guess you...

I guess I am definitely type 2. Because I could eat 500 grams of simple carbs and maintain a BG reading close to 240 with metformin. Now let's assume the worst and say I progressed to type 1.5. Won't you agree with me that if l up my fat intake and follow a maintenance ketogenic diet without a...

Objective criticism to the BMI index is that it suggests the presence of too much fat for people with too much muscles, and it underestimates the weight of fat for normal weight people. So for someone with high percentage of belly fat and normal weight will be misled to think that his excess bad...

I am 178 cm. The lowest weight of the healthy zone for my height is 57 kg. Even a little bit below this weight is considered underweight but not dangerously so.

I have no doubt that I am losing muscles together with fat. I did and frequently test positive for ketosis. The point is that I Know this is not a game and serious stuff. I have become skin on bones and facing strong opposition from close family members. I found comfort in the fact that I...
