But even if you can control your addictions, living off glucose means you constantly have to keep your glucose levels topped up. I'm 100% sure you are eating the wrong "carbs", you never learn

Keep it simple, a person can get by easily on just a little protein and vegetables and lose a bunch of weight and turn things around rather quickly. You've worked it out, well done, I'm amazed people find it so complicated, avoid/stop junk food, eat real food including carbs, rice, potatoes, fruit, vegetables

No healthier than a slice of chocolate cake. Just because it's natural,’ doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Arsenic is natural. So is cyanide. For best health, avoid almost ALL sugars and starches. So are there no nutrition benefits in honey.?

Some folks have a slower metabolism and should probably pay more attention to what they eat and stay active. Folks such as myself have a high metabolism and can eat whatever and not gain weight. Though personally am highly sensitive to sugar and junk processed foods because don’t ever eat it, though occasionally eat something with sugar or msg and regret it every time feeling burned out and headaches, a good indicator that stuff is poison. Eating out has always been a challenge, though in recent years cm have more and more restaurants that have edible food. It took a while, though now the wife is 100% on board.

There are different stages of diabetes; moderate diabetes does not require insulin. A good diet and one pill a day are sufficient.

Unless you do have an illness or use some medication the «some folks or people have a slower metabolism» is a myth!

Seems you pulled that nonsense out of the air, metabolic rates do vary among people, so some individuals have a relatively slower metabolism compared to others due to factors like genetics, age, muscle mass, hormone levels, and body composition. Yet weight gain is primarily caused by calorie intake.

When you quote me, make sure you quote all of it. If you read closely and understand what I wrote you will see Im spot on ! Build muscle: Resistance training can increase your muscle mass, which helps burn more calories at rest. Stay active: Regular physical activity is key to maintaining a faster metabolism. Eat a balanced diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. Avoid excessive amounts of sugar and unhealthy fats, according to WebMD. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can negatively impact your metabolic rate

If everyone maintain a healthy active lifestyle from young, there wouldn't be much differences in metabolism among larger groups. A balanced diet and general healty active lifestyle would had prevented most people's metabolism issues or problems unless there is a medical illness or drug use causes lower metabolism. When I grew up, there where almost no fat kids, now it is more than 20% among kids between 8-19 year. Among 60 kids at my age at school, 1 was fat, and two was overweight.

And some of them have a very high glycemic index . And if you're overweight, any carbs are problematic. Because the body utilizes the carbs for fuel over stored fats. So its impossible to burn stored fats when carbs are coming in. Also, I was eating way too frequently, eating before a workout and then snacking after a workout. I'm back on time restricted eating. People who are overweight need to do keto at least 1-2 months. Then maybe re-introduce carbs. But I may never go back to reintroducing carbs. Yo yo weight can also lead to health problems. Losing, then gaining, then losing. Keto works and I'm not convinced we need carbs. Or maybe very minimal carbs at most. Elite athletes need carbs, but maybe only much smaller amounts than they consume. The average person probably doesn't need carbs.
