[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2259200, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Hi [USER=192328]@francesk[/USER] - I was a typical type two/insulin resistant diabetic with a big tummy since I started putting on the pounds in my mid 20s, off and on along with weight loss and gain (the idea being that those who store their fat foremost around their middles are at much greater risk of being insulin resistant, and with metabolic syndrome, a risk factor for diabetes and CVD, for some years before diagnosis). Both my parents also put fat on their tummies first and foremost, my father in particular which is quite often the case, so this body type and fat storage pattern seems clearly inherited to me. When I was diagnosed with type two I stopped eating wheat flour/based food, and I was astonished to see my pot belly go away, never to come back in all its large extended glory. (I also stopped drinking milk.) Whenever I eat wheat/flour based food on treat days now, a wee belly appears again.
