Why You Got Fat

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. From the documentary "Fat Head."

Great clip, spot on.

@shaququ No problem. If you change your diet, let me know how it goes after awhile.

shaququ (August 26, 2010)

@FatHeadMovie thank you for the useful advice!

FatHeadMovie (August 26, 2010)

@shaququ I'd dump all grains from your diet immediately. In addition to weight gain, they can cause other problems as well. Get your carbs (and not too many of them) from low-starch vegetables and low-sugar fruits.

@FatHeadMovie so i should limit the amount of carbohydrates i eat to reverse this? maybe i stop eating bread and pasta, and also replace sugar with a sweetener, what is your opinion?

FatHeadMovie (August 25, 2010)

@shaququ From what I understand, it's reversible to an extent. The real danger is in burning out the beta cells in your pancreas from overwork. When they're gone, they're gone.

shaququ (August 25, 2010)

is this process that makes cells resistant to insulin reversible?

@dbaseII "it's based on very old studies like in the 1950's and 60's when we didn't know much" Correction: It's based on studies conducted back when we knew more about food and less about pharmaceuticals. Which is exactly why I trust them. Look up the "paleo diet"

@dbaseII Atkins fell because there was ice on the sidewalks, you flippin' idiot. I've slipped on ice many times, and never was there a heart attack involved. His own cardiologist said he didn't have a heat attack when he fell, and you won't find a credible news source that says otherwise. The rumor that he died from a heart attack was started by PCRM, a group of vegan nazis. The Wall Street Journal printed their press release. Atkins did have a damaged heart as the result of a virus.
