[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1012976, member: 150927"] Well, I like science! I actually like knowing how it all works, or doesn't work (as in the case of my poor old liver and bung cell insulin receptors). But I hear you - that ain't for everyone. And I also have a very strong regard for personal differences, and metabolisms. I personally am one of those people who responds very strongly to exercise. And that is in terms of weight loss as well (as does one of my children, in terms of the genes thing). And very quickly. This is not true for many. I also have muscle repair very quickly too - so muscle building is easy for me, and so I enjoy it, which I think is true for many of those you see lifting weights at gyms. On the other hand - cutting down food would never work for me. I would get too fatigued. I wouldn't be able to walk as far and lift weights and squat, and use the stairs the way I do. And I really like to do those things. (The only healthy thing I portion control is fruit - and that is because as a T2 diabetic who still produces a lot of insulin - I need to lower that in order to be as healthy as I can. I don't want to live in a world without fruit! But I also want to live as long as I can.) Maybe you might find more folk like me in an exercise forum here talking about it in relation to T2D than you would otherwise? I imagine so. And a lot of folk who can gain (and lose, it must be said) muscle easily, and even lose weight by exercising more (which is not true for everyone, not at all) - are very interested in the science behind it. Look at any paleo jock site for instance! Or eat with any body builders. But yes - I like your general advice about if it works it works. [/QUOTE]
