Hiya -
low calorie works in the short term - but not long-term, unless you are seriously good about controlling your appetite. That's my experience, and I'm not particularly insulin-resistant. But my guess is I WOULD BE - gradually, as the years progress, without intervention.
That I cured several skin/immune disorders on low-carb speaks heaps for this WOL, weight-loss aside. Just about everything I've read is the opposite of my experience. That you have to eat lots of grains, fruit and veggies to be in good health - no way. My whole system freaks out after eating fruit.
For me the new vegetable is fat. Specifically animal fat.
Don't ask me why, but when I'm not eating tons of fruit and veggies my skin is really great. As the skin is an organ, I would think it reflects inner health no?
I did the whole 'balanced' nutrition thing - it left me having to restrict calories and then I ended up bingeing.
It's unusual for this NOT to happen to anyone who gains weight at the drop of a hat.
