Hi
Now that I do not eat grains,fruit etc.. I am fine. I think my explanation is fine. I have always had a tendency to become fat as do all the "hunter" gene people. I was fine except for the overweight before I had a probable autoimmune response in 1957. The weight loss doctor who found the "hunter" gene said it occurred in only about 10% of his patients. You are probably some one in the other 90%. I have tried,tried, tried to find out who it was.
Was it this guy?:

Many doctors and weight loss gurus refer to this thrifty/hunter gene. All they say is that it makes you prone to put on weight. This was a good thing in our distant past but not so good now in modern life. The thrifty gene isn't that rare.
I don't understand what you're trying to prove. You have, you believe, a set of thrifty genes that make you insulin resistant and prone to put on weight if you eat too many carbs. That is not unusual.
