[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 1705624, member: 468755"] "The heart is a muscle so this theory would mean that heart muscles can become resistant to fuel?" Yes its called Myocardial Insulin Resistance in Diabetes. The heart is an insulin responsive organ the heart [B]may [/B]become insulin resistant in obesity and type 2 diabetes. The jury's still out on this one. Sorry for once I was trying not to be long winded. The insulin resistance is concerned with skeletal muscles. The heart is a cardiac muscle but it still applys. Think of a six pack abdominal muscles. You can't have a six pack as long as you have abdominal fat, because there is a layer of subcutaneous fat on top covering them up no matter how much stomach crunches you do. Simalry you can have a flat stomach won't mean you have a six pack because you have not worked these muscles to achieve one. (don't want one they look silly) The insulin resistance in muscles is associated with skeletal muscles. This is Tai Chi or Yoga aposed to body building its not about getting big muscles just using more. But you make a completely valid point maybe that's why exercise is good for the heart, Mr Darcy. :bag: [/QUOTE]
