Why You Got Fat
Posted by Amanda | Under Fat Loss Sunday Dec 20, 2009
For decades we’ve been told gaining and losing weight is all about the calories. Just one little problem: the research says otherwise. Diabetics undergo dramatic weight changes when they adjust their insulin levels — and so do you. Your diet determines how much insulin your body will produce over time.

Depends on your tolerance. Lots of people get blood-sugar spikes even from whole-grain products. Grains also produce other problems for many people, such as leaky gut syndrome, which can lead to autoimmune diseases. Humans didn’t eat grains until 10,000 years ago, a mere blip in evolutionary time, and many people still aren’t adapted to eating them.
Do these carbs we’re supposed to cut down on INCLUDE such things as sprouted whole grain breads, brown rice, whole oats & oatmeal, brown rice pasta, and bread-like products made of corn? Or are those alright to eat a couple times a day?
this is nice. well laid out and humorous at the same time
thanks.
There’s good info in the Eades’ latest book, “The 6-Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle.” I knocked off another 10 after following their advice.
Unless I eat dark chocolate with caffeine and maybe a little soy milk or something for my diet (I know, I’m weird), I have the hardest time losing my stomach fat. I’m thin everywhere else but there (apple shape I guess) and it’s extremely frustrating at times. The only thing Ive found to work was extreme or slightly crazy diets+cardio, cardio. Bleh. Any tips?
That’s why the South Beach Diet is soo good. That’s also how I got started on eating healthy and becoming thin. SBD book tells you to eat low-carb and healthy fats for 2-4 weeks to re-adjust your bodies response to insulin. Then you just watch your carbs and try to eat complex carbs and some fruit, but mostly stay low-medium carbohydrates.
thanks for watching it.
I love this movie. I tell everyone about it. It makes so much sense. It’s awesome. Thanks so much to all the people who made it.
I know him personally. You are quite mistaken.
The doctor is fat.
Diet is primary. You need to get your insulin down, which means cutting carbs. How low depends on your level of insulin resistance.
So if what this video says is right, how does one lose the weight? Will exercise and and a low carbohydrate diet work?
Fat is stored in your fat cells as a triglyceride — three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule bound together. To be burned for fuel, it must be broken down into individual fatty acids. Fat people have a difficult time breaking down triglycerides (often because of high insulin levels; insulin prevents the breakdown). If a triglyceride isn’t broken down, it literally can’t leave the fat cell.
So the fuel is there, but it’s locked up. Consequently, they get hungry and eat more.
if fat fuels you while your not eating, why do you need to eat when you’re fat?

Drove my animator nuts, but I liked that one too, thanks.
Stop hitting me! -I’m not hitting you
I love this animation
If you’re not diabetic, you burn some of what you eat, then store some as fat, which provides fuel when you’re not eating, when you’re sleeping, etc. This happens even if you’re skinny overall.
For a type one diabetic who isn’t taking insulin, fat isn’t stored, so the fat stores are depleted between meals, but not replenished. The calories taken in that aren’t used are converted to sugar and lost in the urine — that’s why diabetics have sugary urine.
another important data: Italy is the highest rate of old people in europe. Young people are just rare in Italy. Older people have gone through war and famine and they might still be used to living a more frugal life. But italian children are the most obese in europe and they’re eating the pasta-bread-pizza italian diet liberally as they have never known what is food scarcity. If having the most obese children say anything, in a generation italians will be the fattest in EU.
where the fat wasting-away diabetics eat goes?
the italian diet is not healthy. Almost half the population is overweight (compared with other european country with 14% of obese but less overweight people) with less obese than other countries that’s true, but this doesn’t mean health. Italians are overall sick and sedentary and overweight and obesity is rare because the abundance of food you see in america is rare. There are no “maxi-banana-split” or “giant pop-corn” or “pay for all you can eat” Food is pricey and servings are small.
Calories do matter, but it’s a questions of what your body does with the calories and how many it craves. If insulin diverts a higher proportion of your intake to body fat, you will run out of fuel and become hungry, then eat more.
Fat is moved into storage by lipoprotein lipase, which insulin triggers. That’s why type I diabetes waste away, no matter how much they eat, unless they take insulin shots. Merely eating more doesn’t allow them to store fat.
The numbers put the country at #25, that’s all I am saying. I am not arguing with the fact that Italy has overweight people (which western country doesn’t anyway?), Heck, even Switzerland has overweight people, still, they are better than most European countries in terms of eating healthy food and obesity rate.
there’s also an important difference as to why Italy in spite of a terrible diet and terrible stressed sedentary lifestyle doesn’t have a lot of obese people like america. Because in Italy everyone is used to “small portions” Italy was a poor country where little food was unavailable. In America you get a lot more food for less money. In Italy even fast food serve small portions of food for high price. Yogurt countainers are small, pastries are small, restaurant servings are small…
Another problem is that while other countries win for the number of obese people (but still a small percentage of the whole population) Italy wins for the overweright people (a huge percentage of the population) It would probably win for the unfittest people since sedentarity is everywhere and much worse than in Spain or France. No, eating huge amount of bread and pasta twice per day is the opposite of an healthy diet, it’s a zero-nutrition diet.
