I really don't believe your advice is good advice - most people are fat because they make bad decisions, not because of insulin resistance. .
that's you interpreting something that just isn't there, did I say it was initially down to poor choices?. although current health advice is poor and widely not supported by modern research.
However when you are trying to lose weight/ or improve health. It is very wise to listen to your body rather than fighting it.
Also, official advice is type 2 is not reversible? Really? That's bizarre for what is for most entirely a lifestyle disease.
it depends on the official body, but most official bodies are still saying it's a progressive disease and still recommend a low fat high carb diet that actually makes it worse.
as I said if you want to start looking into insulin and health etc then the youtube link I gave is a good starting point. its got a few seminars from a group of UK GPs that are having a drastic impact on their patients by ignoring the official advice.
oh and you can still be insulin resistant and show normal glucose levels. As for a long time you just have high levels of insulin which keep them normal. Or as I've heard a few research call it pre-pre-diabetes.if you think diabetes is a problem now, you should see the studies where they tested people and found iirc something like 29% of the participants had it and were undiagnosed.
Its one of the reason I think nhs should move to a yearly or bi-yearly pre-emptive health check.
