Hmmm? Let’s put it this way, how hard is it to pump a barbell and working the glutes? This goes back to the 80”s aerobics paradigm; you can move more but you have to keep doing it with the amount of refined carbohydrates they are pounding down and just wasted all that time “moving” in attempt to deplete glycogen reserves (the core root mechanism that burns actual body fat), why not simply increase skeletal muscle tissue which is even better and it does in fact work?
You will always find an endless population of people stating how they went on a ketogenic diet and they can’t lose any weight or actual body fat, they simply do not have the skeletal muscle capacity to do it and make it happen nor are they interested in increasing it; simply because they are lazy and do want to do that, so the solution is right their in front of our face, it is just up to each individual person to take the initiative? Or you can just eat meat and fat and hope something happens?
Insulin is one of many hormones involved and is not the primary problem, for example in the case of diabetes or insulin resistance, insulin cannot work correctly if you have recessed GLUT 4 transporters in the muscle itself that are not moving because your not getting enough resistance or exertion of muscle tissue which controls your RMR and BMR.
