Hi Jeanne,
You are clearly week minded.
CICO matter, but not nearly as much as the type of calories you are eating. It is very easy to blame fat people for being fat. It was very easy to blame myself for being fat, it is just an issue of character, it is only a matter of being lazy and stuffing my face. Just ask you doctor, almost all doctors, who are forced to either blame you or themselves.
Why then does giving insulin to an otherwise health person predictable result in weight gain when maintaining the same food intake?
What makes you insulin resistant? How about insulin?
I am very weak minded. Mrs. Hanson just has to wiggle in a certain way and my IQ drops by at least 30 points. Ooopss … i did not need to confess that.
When I was eating carbs I would be stuffed, to the point of significant discomfort, and still starving. I would hate myself, I would literally think … I am killing myself, and I still felt hunger. You are a most very impressive woman if you can control your hunger by the force of your mind. I certainly can’t, but I can control my hunger to a very great extent by simply not eating carbs. I now eat less total net carbs in a year, about 10 lb a year, then most people eat sugar in a month.
Go home … turn a burner on your stove to high … let it get hot and then press your hand to the burner. If you can’t hold it there for more then 60 seconds … are you weak minded? I think not. Also, this is just a thought experiment.
Any unpleasant stimulus is going to eventually result in an action. It is just a matter of time. A person can resist for a while, but everyone will eventually act and the more intense the stimulus the shorter the time to act.
So … do different people have different levels of willpower, or are different people more sensitive to pain, experience more intense hunger?
You are clearly weak minded!
You have no self-control!
How about … you are a wonderfully sensitive person instead!
That is my honest no BS opinion. The hard thing is to tell yourself just that, and to truly believe that truth after a lifetime of almost everyone, including your doctors, telling you just the opposite. Jerks!
Keto for Life!
Warmest Regards,
Richard
