Exactly. nature and nurture. if one consumes sugary drinks more than his/her parents makes him/her prone to T2
Exactly. nature and nurture. if one consumes sugary drinks more than his/her parents makes him/her prone to T2Simple answer is genetics - whether or not a person gets type 2 diabetes depends on a combination of the genes they are born with and interaction with the environment / behaviour eg whether or not they become overweight.
So, with some genes, people will get type 2 diabetes even if they never become overweight, and some people will be come overweight, but never get type 2 diabetes. It's about reducing / increasing risks, not guarantees.
But, not becoming overweight has other benefits eg reducing risks of heart disease, reducing stress on joints etc.
Yes stress can do it. I have the same problem, I have stopped losing even though I am following LCHF properly at about 20 grams per day. In my case I think that high inflammation levels and other autoimmune conditions is the source of most of my stress. It is physical stress. Emotional stress can be just as bad and can certainly affect both glucose levels and weight.Reading posts about how carb reduction has so paid off is good to hear but is very frustrating since I have severely reduced carbs for well over a year and no sugar. No white. No bread. None. Not a mouthful
No rice. No pasta. No no no. Protein and fats. Eggs bacon chicken salmon salad.
Do not lose. .I am not on meds. I seem to keep glucose levels in good ppl range but fasting remains high.
I really don't get it. So I seem locked into this eating forever but no reward as many of you have with weight loss and lower levels. And I do exercise every day. But my enthusiasm is waning. My question is...stress is off the charts...family illness etc
Could that do it???
Yes couldn't agree more, the insulin resistance actually stops you from putting weight on past certain point, because your fat cells are resistant as well. I read somewhere that it's too many lipids in your cells that causes them to become resistant to insulin, a way of protecting themselves, this caused by vegetable oils. Which are more damaging to health than animal fats.Guilt by association. I am diabetic yet people don't understand why I am not fat. Preconception in a nut shell.
Same reason I suppose why some really slim people get diabetes and others don'tI am obese BMI 40.0 and I have been diagnosed with Diabetes. I am 32 so I thought i had time to loose weight and get into shape. I wanted to know why it is some people who are obese in there 40 and 50s don't get diabetes? 32 is youngish to get type 2 diabetes, i would have thought.
Certainly could. At least partly because real, prolonged unhappiness creates a "couldn't care less" attitude in people. You are doing well to hold it together with the diet.Reading posts about how carb reduction has so paid off is good to hear but is very frustrating since I have severely reduced carbs for well over a year and no sugar.

Don't say that I start my day off with a tablespoonful of coconut oil!Yes couldn't agree more, the insulin resistance actually stops you from putting weight on past certain point, because your fat cells are resistant as well.

My thoughts too. Funny how as saturated fat consumption has gone done down, heart disease, diabetes and obesity has gone up.Coconut oil is largely saturated fat and is fine. It is the refined veg oils like canola and sunflower that are bad. Margarine should never be eaten and should have a biohazard sign on it.
I'd love to lose weight on lchf to prove just that. Without a loss my dietician and endocrologist won't listen. Humf!In order to do so they would have to admit to giving bad advice for the last few decades I don't see that happening. They eventually will change the dietary advice but I would think it will be a long drawn out process in order to cover their asses.
Stress is definitely a significant factor. When i started on my LCHF journey i found that my weight did not drop significantly. After a few weeks i decided to add 5/2 fasting into the mix. I found fasting much easier than i expected probably because the HF makes me feel fuller for longer.Reading posts about how carb reduction has so paid off is good to hear but is very frustrating since I have severely reduced carbs for well over a year and no sugar.
