As the title asks, who else is a TOFI (Thin on the outside, fat on the inside) ?
It seems to me this is an important distinction.... you develop a diabetic condition much quicker and it takes longer to reverse in general for those who pursue LC/KETO or Carnivore lifestyles. It can also result in quite possibly going undiagnosed for a good length of time.
I think once I knew I was a TOFI, body weight and being very lean no longer had to be a major focus in my eyes. Doctors seemed fixated with weight and a number on a scale and pushed to try and get me to gain weight as though it would be just as easy for me as it would be for anyone else who could gain weight without much effort. It just doesn't really work that way and the practices of eat more bread and potatoes was often the advice from dieticians. Which I had no intentions of following after working hard to get numbers in a decent range for me.
So, who else is a TOFI on here? Thoughts on being a TOFI you've noticed?
