No opinion worth mentioning. Your theory has gone right over my head. My belief is when we have IR our poor pancreas keeps on producing more and more insulin to do the same job as a smaller amount would if there was no IR. This must put a big strain on the pancreas. Additionally, this high insulin is inflammatory and is thought to be a cause of heart problems in diabetics rather than high glucose, and certainly causes weight gain in most people. This vicious circle can continue for decades before the glucose levels reach the stage of T2 diagnosis, and is why many T2s are overweight when diagnosed.
FIRST we call ourselves T2's groovy! "I'm a Terminator ya'll"
Sorry I didn't explain this idea clearly.
For anyone like me a couch potato, to much time binge watching on Game of Thrones, my body is full of muscle groups that are not doing anything while I'm sitting still.
This lack of activity means that when Insulin try to send energy to my muscles it can't because I am not using them and they call this Insulin Resistance. Thats like saying a light bulb is Electricity Resistant when its a bright sunny day and I haven't turned the light on.
So if I go for a mile walk it burns 100 calories thats nothing. But I have flipped the light switch in my leg muscles which allows Insulin to push energy from my blood sugar to them. Which means my body needs to break down fat cells (to replace the energy/sugar I have just sent to the muscles) for the boring day to day stuff that the body does like pumping blood and breathing.
Remember I have just used up 100 calories which can not be converted into Fat as its gone!
But the real benefit is when I eat next my body will send a little extra to the muscles because the light switch is still turned on, it stays on for the rest of the day. Which again lowers blood sugar and the liver has to break down Fat to run the body.
Think of it like an Ipod you press play when you go for a walk
running down the battery so when you get home you plug it into the charger but still leave it on play it still charges up but at the same time its using up electricity (Fat) because its still playing.
I hope I am explaining this idea clearly Blue.
Here where the real benefits KICK IT UP a notch if I go swimming, for a mile it burns 300-500 calories. And I am using 2 muscle groups, arms and legs and lets not for get walking back and forth to the pool an other 200 calories. Walking and Swimming use different leg muscles so now I have turned on 3 light bulbs, which stay on for the whole day.
Think of a Christmas tree and all of the pretty little lights.
(relay wish I had though of this analogy at the beginning it would have saved a lot of typing)
So there you have it Blue thats the idea activate as many muscle groups as possible through exercise, just 10 to 15 minuets every day or second day will produce the same if not better results than going for a 5 mile walk every night.
Ultimately the end result, in as little as 3 short months, with a low carb diet the liver is drained of fat, muscles respond to insulin correctly and T2 is Terminated.
BUT I haven't got a clue I cobbled this idea together from a few different places, it seems to make sense.
