Message: <blockquote data-quote="kokhongw" data-source="post: 1683257" data-attributes="member: 277199">Basically weight loss or specifically fat loss is inversely proportional to the level of circulating insulin. The more insulin we have circulating in our system, the less fat loss. Given that T2D have elevated insulin response and are typically highly insulin resistant, it takes very little carbs to raise the level of circulating insulin. Hence fats metabolism is inhibited. The difficulty South Asian/Asian face may be more cultural than genetics. We live in a predominantly high carbs and previously agricultural society that requires hard labour. Now we are urbanized, yet continue with the high carbs diet. It is natural then that we see the growing epidemic that is the result of high insulin levels.</blockquote>
