[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2266401, member: 403497"] The patient mentioned in the study had profound and chronic hypoglycaemia. It was reported that her intake had increased in order to maintain her blood sugars which were consistently under 3. Essentially the weight gain occurred in response to increased intake not due to an increased drive to eat from the insulin itself but in response to her continually low blood sugars. The authors do mention very briefly that weight gain was also due to the anabolic effects of insulin in addition to this obvious energy surplus however I do not think, given the amount of calories consumed, the blame can be put at the foot of insulin as Dr Paul Watson does. The removal of the insulinoma saw a dramatic decrease in energy intake due to the normalised blood sugars reducing her need/drive to eat to raise them. Her appetite isn't discussed just that she frequently ate to try to avoid hypos (she would lose consiousness). Neither Dr Paul Watson (who blatantly lies about the study) nor Ivor Cummings gave accurate explanations for why the lady lost weight with both citing insulin as the direct cause (in one way or another) when it was not due to either the fat building properties or appetite stimulating effect of insulin. Insulin doesn't stimulate the appetite in the manner Ivor claims (it does have 'a' role in appetite regulation) nor does it make a person fat in the way Dr Watson says it does. [/QUOTE]
