Message: <blockquote data-quote="AliB" data-source="post: 1523543" data-attributes="member: 16907">How can a low fat diet starve the body of lipids if it still carries excess fat..?  It is widely known that the body can burn fat when excess glucose is depleted.  The concept of this is that it seems to be able to restore insulin sensitivity.Reversing diabetes isn't just about lowering blood glucose, it is about removing insulin resistance so that insulin sensitivity is restored.It's not just fat in the liver that is the issue, but fat in other cells, especially the muscles.  The muscles cannot burn sugar if they too are stuffed with fat.  Too much of a good thing is not necessarily a good thing.If you have reversed your insulin resistance by eating meat and fat, that is awesome, but despite sticking faithfully to it for 8/9 years, all that happened for me was that I gained over 30lbs (on top of my already very ample frame) and my IR got worse.......</blockquote>
