[QUOTE="biggles36, post: 2388681, member: 117187"] I am confused. One of the paragraphs in the article seems to suggest that it is a good thing to prevent the emergence of glucagon between the hours of 02.00 and 08.00. From several weight loss books I have read that glucagon is the opposite to insulin in that insulin puts any excess sugar into the body's cells as fat for energy storage. In the period from 2 till 8 the body has fully digested all the food in the stomach and yet it still needs to access energy to power the systems such as brain, heart, digestive etc. It therefore has to get that energy by getting some fat back out of the cells and to do this it uses glucagon which will only operate when insulin is not present. If you want to lose weight and come out of suffering from type 2 then you have got to get that fat out of the cells, so why should we prevent the presence of glucagon? [/QUOTE]
