stored energy vs consumed energy
I watched a lecture by Jason Fung where he talked about eating lots of small meals will keep insulin raised, which prevents the body from using stored fat as a fuel. I have read this before, including on this forum, and I don't doubt it, but it does seem that it is not that simple. For example, even if we agree it is not ideal, there are people who lose fat eating lots of small meals. How did they switch to fat burning in that case? Is it that enough of a caloric deficit will force the switch to fat burning, even with the raised insulin? I like Dr. Fung's message, but I am concerned that he leaves out this part of discussion.
