How do you feel right now?

[_Cathy_]

Melancholic. I wanna go home take my meds and sleep.

when you're sensitive to insulin than means your body is responsive to insulin

when you intake sugar/carbs your body is able to drive the sugar into your cells (which lowers blood sugar)

that's anabolic

you get bigger

NOW, when you are resistant to insulin, your body doesn't respond much to insulin

pag intake mo ng sugar/carbs your pancreas still makes insulin, but the sugar doesn't go into your cells as quickly or as efficiently as before (so blood sugar is stubbornly high even hours after meal)

it shows up in postprandial (2 hour blood sugar test after meal)

it shows up in FBS (8 to 10 hours after meal)

that's insulin resistance

thats what i also said....

[uls]

so hindi po baligtad ang sinabi ko Sir

i understand insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance

[uls]

actually there's a question

if insulin resistance is so bad, why hasn't it been eliminated by natural selection?

ganito:

the human race has been enduring bouts of starvation most of the time

it's only in the modern era that food is abundant 24/7

when humans were always starving, it is disadvantageous for survival if you're too sensitive to insulin

you'll drop dead from hypoglycemia

so some insulin resistance is good for surviving starvation

kaya insulin resistance was a conserved trait passed down from our ancestors

now insulin resistance is bad coz we're no longer experiencing bouts of starvation

food is available 24/7

our bodies didnt evolve to handle abundance

our bodies were evolved to handle scarcity

well, hindi baliktad pero its not totally true being insulin sensitive will make us fat..being insulin sensitive means your body is efficient in converting glucose into energy, less fat accumulation, btw another word for insulin resistance is metabolic damage..

you want to have coffee with me once of these days? favorite ko na topic yan....answer is, we havent have time to adapt, weve been on earth, 1-2 million years? agriculture is just a recent invention, like 10000 years old, humans were not meant to eat and eat, our ancestors only ate, once a day, sometimes they dont....

[_Cathy_]

I can go the whole day without eating when I'm depressed pero pag gabi sakit na ulo ko.

well, we are going to agree on this:

excess glucose that isn't burned for energy is converted into fat for storage

and insulin is the hormone that makes that happen

ako naman i reached 165-170lbs many years ago (i know that's not overweight for 5"9") but my fbs was always above 100 but below 115 naman

i knew it's a warning na if i keep eating extra rice i'll become diabetic soon

so i cut down on rice and sugary drinks

lost a lot of weight and i got my fbs down to below 100 na

payatot ako now 135-140

That's not fat. 6' around 180 ideal diba? Ang fat yung 300+ pero cute pa rin basta maputi

I feel like my friends really care for me. They notice when something is wrong even if I do not talk. They insist that they go with me even to the parking lot and they force me to eat also. I'm glad I have few but really quality friends at work.

Magtataka sila sobra dumi na ng car ko...

Thanks. Wala ako gana to do anything for several days already. Even my fat lab does not have her fruits and veggies snacks anymore. All I really wanna do is sleep. Because when I'm asleep I don't feel pain. My friends make so much effort to make me happy. Even tsikoteers that make me laugh but that's only temporary and then I go back to this again. I'm thinking of quitting my job na because it's unfair na I'm not really "present" at work pero kawawa din boss ko

me i wasn't targeting the weight

i was targeting the blood sugar

i had to cut down on carbs (not totally eliminate)

side effect was the weight loss

[uls]

kaya i have first hand experience how to lose weight (and it wasn't even my goal)

so nagtataka ako sa mga gusto pumayat they say don't eat pork and beef na daw?

in my mind WTF

it's not the meat that makes you fat

it's the carbs
