TLDR: How you look is still completely up to you, though. "It's not fair I am fat because of hormones". Well, boo-hoo. I have to work that much harder to not be fat (I am). Go cry to someone who has cancer. That's way more not fair.Ok. Pics later to assuage the gods since I'm browsing mobile, but I assume by fat and insulin resistance that they're referring to Type 2 diabetes which has been shown to be a direct result of diet and lifestyle with some genetic predisposition.
Fat literally fucks up insulin usage. Muscle development can somewhat fix this. I can't stand this bullshit pseudoscience that people do in so many facets of life. It's a goddamn energy balance, you fat fucks. Fat is a direct cause of IR, not a goddamn coincidence.
Being sedentary and fat can cause insulin resistance but it isn't quite as simple as that. While I don't know much about/subscribe necessarily to what this guy says,here is some info re: lean/thin people getting Type 2 diabetes. I am one of the folks mentioned there as a "Type 1.5", I slipped into full blown diabetes as I was finishing college football; I was in pretty good shape but I still ended up needing Type 1-style insulin injections. I didn't start gaining weight until I started taking insulin. Years later after a divorce I went on a super-fitness tear for a few years and even eating 1500 calories a day with 4% body fat, I needed a full regimen of insulins. I am still helped by the Type-II resistance reducing drugs, though; I need way less insulin when taking one, so it isn't so cut-and-dried.
