Well a large part of the problem, in my opinion is poor diet. I have never really been overweight but was knocking on the door of being overweight a few months ago. I have lost about 15 pounds and am now midway in the weight range for my height. In today's society, most people eat out at least once per day. Really hard to do that and eat healthy. It is all about choices. A McDonalds quarter pounder w/cheese, large fries, and large drink is 1,570 calories - that is more than I need for an entire day. I do believe that some people's weight problem is caused by insulin issues - but certainly not all.
What I heard him say was he exercised 3-4 hours a day and ate correctly and he gained 40 pounds and became insulin resistant?
That is/was the normally accepted reason for diabetes.
He also said there are a lot of underweight people who had diabetes and a lot of obese people who didn't.
The curious part to me was the cellular discussion about glucose, how the glucose is turned into fat cells to store the extra glucose in some and not others and how he feels there is something serious underlying why it's different for different groups of people and that we haven't discovered that secret yet.
I found it fascinating.
Thanks for sharing the video with us.
This is an article on sugar substitutes and glucose intolerance I found it is an interesting article to read.
I had routine blood work at my primary clinic because I am a diabetic type 2 and the nurse called me today and told me my kidneys are struggling now.
Wow, we need more compassionate Dr.s like Peter Attica
