[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1764005, member: 85785"] Not to muddy the waters, the way it works is when you eat you stimulate your hormones in response to what you have tucked away. The food is digested and turns to glucose. This response triggers insulin to counter the glucose. The energy from this is how you have been living. However, the high amount of carbs and sugars probably in your diet, will drive your glucose and insulin responses too much. Because your insulin is too much because your body wants to get back to normal levels range. You start getting insulin resistance. You store insulin, this usually attaches to your organs and creates visceral fat. This means again, too much glucose in your because the insulin isn't working. Higher Hba1c and blood glucose levels. Classic T2! BTW, fat does not make you fat! Full fat is good for you. Butter, cheese, cream eaten in a balanced low carb diet is part of losing that weight you want to get rid of. But it's not that easy to give up the foods you are use to. It can be done and low carb works, I lost nearly six stone! Low carb works because you are lowering your hormonal response to food, by not eating those foods that drives up your glucose and insulin levels. Of course, portion size is important as is exercise, walking an extra hundred yards a day, eating less, and low carb is the way to get results. You have to be patient and believe that you can do it. Your health depends on it! Do read the low carb forum and the success stories forum. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
