[QUOTE="Patch, post: 152087, member: 13526"] Nice post, Sue. That's gonna help a lot of noobs. I've recently been researching T2 as an inability of the body to metabolise certain types of fat (not carbs). Made for some interesting reading. Basically, when your cells reproduce, they use whatever fat is available to them - in the case of good fats being available, the cells regenerate using those good fats, and the cell membranes remain nice and elastic (allowing glucose to pass through). Where only bad fats are available, the cells regenerate using the only fats available to them (bad fats) and the cell walls lose some of their elasticity, and glucose does not pass through them so easily. This supports (one) theory that it's the insulin resistance that causes a person to become overweight - not being overweight causing insulin resistance. That makes perfect sense to me. A bit of reverse engineering would tell you that you can reduce insulin resistance by giving your cells good fats to regenerate from. This would explain why so many people have difficulty losing weight on a calorie restricted diet. [/QUOTE]
