[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2008492"] Insulin resistance can be pretty much directly correlated with glucose load. It doesn’t matter what mass you are. It only matters how much of that mass is already stuffed with glucose. The more glucose in the body, the more insulin resistance is [I]required[/I] in order to ensure that all [I]new[/I] glucose is safely converted into body fat and not allowed to linger indefinitely. Without this entirely natural increasing resistance mechanism, insulin would just keep shoving more glucose into the body’s cells where it would cause glucotoxicity. Instead, the resistance allows the excess to continually be stored away in adipocytes (fat cells). While this is happening, ketosis cannot take place. Additionally, some people don’t have many adipocytes, and they run out of safe storage very quickly. This is why not all insulin resistant diabetics are obese. In short, if your body isn’t overburdened with sugar (very insulin resistant) it will be able to effortlessly switch between glycolysis and ketosis, and the subject won’t need to adhere to strict carbohydrate restriction. A metabolically healthy person should be in mild ketosis every night while they sleep. The problem most modern humans have is that they are overstuffed with glucose and so insulin prevents this from ever happening effectively. This is also why obese people get hungry when they have several hundred thousand calories in storage waiting to be used as fuel - insulin is preventing them from accessing any of it. Hope I’m explaining it clearly. [/QUOTE]
