Message: <blockquote data-quote="yetta2mymom" data-source="post: 1685280" data-attributes="member: 279057">HiI keep posting that the doctors don't realize the simple reason why people lose weight on a low carb diet.   We need insulin to process protein.   Otherwise we have a build up of ammonia and die.   When the insulin is in the blood it doesn't know that it is only supposed to process protein.   Most people change some blood sugar into fat.   I will leave out what happens if very low blood sugar threatens.   In any case you end up with lower blood sugar than the body is comfortable with.   Your liver changes fat into sugar.   Changing sugar into fat and then fat into sugar uses up a lot of energy you lose weight.I have used this site and one of the world experts (an Indian) on adrenal problems to figure out what what is happening.   Some facts, my glucose tolerance test in 1964 (those stupid doctors call us prediabetics)  my blood sugar over 2 hours is still rising (185 U.S, units) 3 hours heading down 100.   As I leave the hospital a very mild shaking.   It took me 50 years to figure out that the shaking occurred instead of all those very low blood sugar episodes (my body learned?).   It was my body restarting hormones ,the same ones (or nearly so) produced by the placenta to make the baby/fetus insulin resistant.   With those hormones turned on all the time I do not change sugar into fat.   A doctor on T.V. (I found his wife, she saw I was fat and wanted to get her husband business , didn't get their names, T.V. program may have only been local), called people with my glucose tolerance "hunter" gene people since they fouled up his study about how the low carb diet was working.   I have found out that the women with my glucose tolerance test all get gestational diabetes.  They do not turn off our hormones when their blood sugar gets too high since that would also effect the hormones in the placenta.  I posted on the gestational diabetes site said "hunter" gene people do not lose weight on a low-carb diet.   They have my weird glucose tolerance test and there HbA1c is strongly correlated with how much sugar/starch they eat.   Is there any women who doesn't meet one of these criteria who gets gestational diabetes?   I found 1 women who takes steroids for an organ transplant in over 2700 looks (biased, since most women don't know enough to know if they have any of my criteria).</blockquote>
