Yes, an insulin resistant metabolism will have a higher fat genesis & fat storage, than a metabolism with optimal insulin processing. Pretty sure that this is the result of the circulating serum insulin and glucose, that's not entering insulin resistant lean tissue (muscle tissue), but instead (bc it CAN enter fat cells), gets stored as excess fat in the liver and in the body's fat cells. Additionally, glycogen (glucose, 'sugar') is stored - and burned- for energy in muscle tissue. But burning glucose for energy that's stored in fat tissue?... um - not so much!

Just goes to show that it wasn't purely the simple carbs cutting, that magically took the weight off. It was stopping the over-consuming of calorie rich carbs (e.g. cutting out an unwitting caloric surplus). So, bottom line you went from a caloric surplus WOE, to a caloric deficit WOE, just by cutting the simple carbs. Thus, the weight came off...'calories in-calories out!'

@jamescalifornia2964 No...fat is calorically dense about 100 Kcals in 1 tblsp. (9 calories/gram). It's the regular consumption of A caloric SURPLUS that adds body fat. And that surplus can be from any macro - protein, fat, or carbs.

Actually - losing only fat on any diet, including a protein forward diet AND resistance training along with the ideal high protein, caloric deficit diet - most ppl (unless they are unusual 'gainers' (easily add muscle to their body mass) - most of us will experience a 25% loss of lean body tissue (muscle tissue), along with the fat loss. This is just a fact of 'weightloss.' This is study supported data!...per Dr. Donald Layman, Phd. (& other health experts, scientists).

@terrymokihana Yes, he probably did. ...and your point IS?

@brooklyngal66 Resistance training, and elliptical (cardio), are two very different types of exercise. One (resistance training) is hypertrophic (anabolic, i.e. muscle building). The other, (elliptical) is cardio - good for heart health. But, with the absence of hyperbolic resistance exercises, Cardio (elliptical) can be catabolic (breaking down muscle tissue)...when done to the exclusion of hyperbolic, strength training exercises. (I kinda inferred from your post that you view your elliptical (cardio), as resistance exercise?). ...which you did say you've started, but then mentioned the frequent elliptical use. Sorry, if I got that wrong🙄 Also, big congrats to you for your initiative to improve your health/strength after your illness recovery. Just recovering from illness is quite the accomplishment😃 We need all the help we can get at our age. So, good for you...and just keep on keeping on!👍💪
