[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2354660, member: 403497"] This is another very good point. Altered metabolism to carbohydrate is a fair consideration and posts such as these leave me acknowledging that there are gaps here. As I said in the previous post, I must go back and look at this. I genuinely do have a few questions created from experiences shared here and points made by yourselves. My understanding is that whilst a person may have issues metabolising carbohydrate why would this interfere with a persons ability to lose weight. The idea for many here rests on this ability of insulin to make someone fat independent of energy - so does insulin do what many on here believe it does? To address the question, weight loss with low calorie diets has been demonstrated many times in people with T2DM, studies show this and I have seen this. How do we make that fit into this insulin hypothesis? Answers on both sides compete - perhaps there isn't a definitive answer here and I appreciate people respond differently to diets. This is all deeply thought provoking I must say. I know my colleagues rarely get to have this sort of dialogue so I am very lucky to have these discussions. I agree that peoples tolerance to carbohydrates being different may explain why some people who trial a low carbohydrate diet with no benefit may be because they need to drop the carbs even more rather than it not being a diet that works for them. In this area I need to further my knowledge. [/QUOTE]
