[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2354658, member: 403497"] I've seen weight loss in people with and without type 2 diabetes. This all hinges on insulin doing what many on here say but if increasing or decreasing insulin does not cause fat gain/fat loss then altering insulin isn't going to be the key to weight gain or weight loss. So in the context of a person with T2DM weight loss would be expected to not be greatly impaired by insulin resistance. Studies support this and I've seen this clinically on many occasions.... BUT then I read the testimonies here where reducing insulin appears to be the only plausible explanation for the result they achieved because many are saying they are eating as much if not more calories prior to reducing/eliminating carbs. Therefore I acknowledged that there are gaps here and some of the questions being asked are forcing me to have to have to re-examine this - I have questions I thought I could answer that I can't. I am going to revisit insulin and try and see if my main sticking point regarding the biochemistry for insulin being the main driver of fat storage can be reconciled with what is being said here. These kinds of questions are very interesting and helpful. [/QUOTE]
