"Our study showed that 22% of the normal-weight women were insulin resistant and 38% of the obese women were insulin sensitive. Increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (P = 0.001) and decreased VAT/leg fat mass (P 0.001), independent of total body fatness, distinguished between the phenotypes."

Comment:

It remains much smarter to simply eat less, down to the right amount, in order to lose the VAT (black fat) that is the proximate cause of insulin resistance (IR/MetS):

Here is a simple parable given in hopes of promoting much greater understanding:

Life in industrialized countries is essentially life in blessed feed lots.

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be healthier:

Yes.

This is being done so that others will wonder why they lack the free
will to do what is right.

May we, who are Jesus' disciples, continue to rebuke you at each GOD-
given opportunity as GOD desires:

May dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful
2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as the Son of
Man ...

... by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful ! ! !

It's how we know what GOD desires, which is what is good.

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives.

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...

... for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen.

Here is a Spirit-guided exegesis of Luke 6:21 given in hopes of
promoting much greater understanding:

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be euglycemic...

Prayerfully in the awesome name of LORD Jesus Christ,

It's al he knows. His education stopped when he was fired right out of
medical school. His brain began to atrophy just after that event.
