[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2175098, member: 196898"] # Technically what is stated here is scientifically correct, It is the Krebs or Citric Cycle if you want to google it. Insulin is the storage hormone, and it is an enabler for glucose to enter the muscle cell to either be used immediately for energy or to be stored in the cell as glucogen. Because glucogen is a hybrid molecule of glucose and water, it adds weight. When energy is burnt the glucogen is used and the water enters the blood stream again. So yes, insulin allows the glucogen stores to build up, thus adding body weight. No insulin, no storage, Same for T1 and T2 alike except where there is insulin resistance preventing it. This is why a low energy or low carb diet or a fast will produce immediate weight loss since the glucogen stores get used first, and all the water is released and then excreted as normal. Then weight loss bottoms out before the lipid fat is broken down later. The initial weight loss comes from losing water from the muscle cells. [/QUOTE]
