[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2266502, member: 403497"] Hi You said that hunger was caused by low blood sugar - this is correct. A frank hypo would drive hunger however whilst it was insulin that will have driven down that blood sugar it just isn't correct to then suggest there is something pathological about Insulin (unless we have pathological conditions causing supraphysiological release of insulin). As I pointed out, someone becoming insulin resistant would typically have higher BM's and higher circulating insulin with no impact on intake. Ivor Cummings says reducing insulin levels reduces hunger never making the distinction between this being the case only if that insulin was cause a hypo. You could have high insulin levels but not have a hypo and in such a case we wouldn't see this drive to eat - why not if it is insulin? Ivor blames insulin full stop and this just doesn't hold up. Abnormal release of insulin does not mean insulin is abnormal or deleterious. [/QUOTE]
