[QUOTE="zand, post: 1207271, member: 85197"] Hmmmm. That sounds a little harsh to a fat T2 like me. It is the insulin resistance that makes many of us fat, which causes too much insulin to be released when carbs are consumed. If you are insulin resistant then you don't need to eat alot of carbs to put on weight because the excess insulin produced makes you fat. I can lose weight on 2300 cals a day if those cals are 90% + fat cals. However I put on weight on say 1300 cals a day if I have more than 80g carbs. So it's the amount of carbs (and protein) we eat that causes obesity, not necessarily the total amount of food. It's the quality of the food that matters more than the quantity. I believed I was eating too much food for many years and kept cutting my total calorie intake. I kept putting on weight so kept reducing the amount I ate. It seemed the logical thing to do. This slowed my metabolism and eventually made me even fatter. Eating less food can make you fatter in the long term, as many of us failed dieters can tell you. So I would like to change your last statement to 'eating more carbs (and protein) than your body can cope with causes weight gain '. [/QUOTE]
