Too much too often, for years and years. Sometimes drinking is involved. Basically when insulin resistance sets in (genetics play a big role in how quick this is), you're already fucked, and will bloat out really quickly. Beyond that, you will develop fatty liver, and then you'll get to that point where losing weight seems impossible, and people will make fun of you.

Even old people's body fats will increase as their liver functions less effectively, even if they won't be obese.

Calorie dense foods in large portions. Mostly a lot of meat and processed carbs packed with sodium. I mean one little McChicken has 310 calories, and is hardly filling by itself. I think it honestly comes down to a lot of processed sugar and sodium in their diets. Processed sugar makes people hungrier and excess sodium packs on water weight and causes bloating.

High glycemic index foods are good. They satiate the body more quickly, because they rapidly spike blood sugar and get insulin in the blood, absorbing the sugar, and energizing the body, so you stop eating sooner. High fat foods don't spike blood sugar so the brain tells you to keep shoveling in food until it feels sick.

You're not wrong. I constantly think about killing myself. Hell, two years ago during spring one of my friends who's literally Chad dragged me to the gym with him and within about 2 months I went from very tubby to normal. Turns out I'm able to drop weight like it's nothing if I feel like it (people were legit jelly) and that I'm like my dad in that my back and shoulders are broad as fuck, and women were literally mirin. Then Chad went back home over the summer, I stopped doing the excercise and started eating seconds again, and I'm back to where I was. When Chad came back, he was... disappointed.

I constantly debate whether jumping off a building would be better due to accessibility but people say you instantly regret it on the way down, or if a painless sudden exit bag is, but fucking that up means waking up with brain damage.

That's a laugh. Starch is what farmers feed pigs to make them fat before they take them to the slaughterhouse. It's what they feed to geese to make them fat so they can make the liver into pate. The very first case of type 2 diabetes documented in the US was a woman who worked in a laundry and had become morbidly obese. The starch she used to stiffen the shirts and collars was getting on her hands and she would lick it off. The doctor put her in a hospital away from the laundry starch and switched her to a high fat low carb diet and she recovered. Any form of carbs - including low glycemic ones - will make you fat. Enjoy your fat ass, carbtard.

>And sugar levels drop again within 30-60 mins,
A natural starchy diet includes plenty of fiber which slows digestion. Even a slice of white bread takes a couple hours to digest. This gradual digestion will release sugar into the blood for longer than 60 minutes. I experience this phenomenon every day. I live it every day. A meal of almost all starch will keep me feeling full and energetic for many hours.

You're still thinking simplistically. The glucose from the bread hits your bloodstream within minutes, the sugar levels spike within 30 minutes before your insulin yanks it back down. Yes the bread still contributes sugar for some time but it is completely overpowered by the insulin, meanwhile the sharp drop in serum glucose from the insulin flood will trigger ghrelin production making you hungry again.
Wanna verify it for yourself? Eat a potato, no butter or sour cream or bacon bits. Count the number of hours until you are hungry. Then eat the equivalent calories in butter and sour cream and bacon and count the number of hours/days until you feel hungry. Just a 1-time experiment, it won't kill you, and any theory that can't stand up to a falsification attempt isn't a theory at all.

Think before you type anon. HC only works you have severe calorie restriction (Japan) or high alcohol intake during a meal (France/Italy) which suppresses the liver's production of glucose while your body burns off the carbs from the meal.
The glycemix index of the carb has little to do with it. Glycemic index only matters to T1 diabetics who need to calculate insulin bolus. It's been misused by others because it disguises the slow insulin response by T2 diabetics and gives them an excuse for handwaving away their pathological metabolic disorder.

America won't start thinning until you fat fucks start using the metric system and drop all that "a cup of X, 4 ounces of Y" shit. It's confusing and doesn't really have a unified understanding of calories.

How many calories has a cup of butter vs 12 ounces of soda vs 4 ounces of sugar? This is a mess, if you people used grams and kilograms instead, you'd know 100g of fat is 800 calories and 100g of carbs is 400 calories.

Yeah, my finger slipped there when I typed the calories for fat.

But what I mean with the imperial system is that it is VERY confusing, more so if you're brosing recipes. It's a fucking nightmare having to use different measurements like cups/tea spoons/ounces, and it is a nightmare to replicate the recipe and it's calories too. Who's to say your "cup" is the same as mine? Do you fill it to the brim or you leave a small space to not throw flour all over yoru kitchen counter?

>Who's to say your "cup" is the same as mine?
A cup is a unit of measurement. you don't use a random cup, you use a measuring cup. It's 237mL exactly if you want to be anal, but it's easier to assume it's 250mL, which is close enough for most purposes and makes math very easy.

Again, I agree it's an outdated system but I can't help but feel that there's a lot of hyperbole here. What's "nightmarish" about doing a simple conversion in your head to metric if you aren't familiar with its units?

And for that matter, if you are insisting on following recipes exactly you're cooking wrong anyway (unless we're talking about baking). Foods vary in terms of moisture content, flavor, size and shape, etc. It's silly to worry about measuring out exactly X amount of this and Y amount of that since the flavor and the caloric content of the food is going to vary anyway. Taste your ingredients and adjust accordingly.

>>You just need a scale and you can replicate the exact recipe you consulted.
How do you know that the flour you are using has the exact same moisture content as that which the recipe author used? How do you know that the chili pepper you're measuring has the exact same heat level of the one the author used? And for that matter, how do you know that your personal preference for heat is exactly the same either?

insulin resistance is caused by fatty deposits in tissue, and fatty blood gumming up metabolic processes.

A meal that is entirely starch will be rather large, since starch is only 4 calories per gram. It takes a long time to digest all the food. Add in fiber from vegetables and fibrous starches like oatmeal, and one will feel full for many hours.
And spiking blood sugar levels is very good. I want to feel like I'm getting full quickly, before I overeat. The difference between over eating and not is often minutes.

That model of insulin has been invalidated with the last few decades of research. Experiments done with radioisotope glucose shows that insulin isn't needed to move glucose into cells, and that what insulin actually does is convince the liver to stop making glucose while the basal cells munch away on the excess. Most of the blood sugar spike actually comes from the liver - the initial surge of glucose isn't radioactive so it isn't coming from the sample glucose, it's coming from the liver. The isotope tagged glucose shows up in quantity several minutes later after insulin levels are already spiking, and untagged insulin levels drop precipitously. On a phone or I'd post the links, but they should be easily googlable. Some of the tests were also done with t1 diabetics, the tagged glucose moved into the cells just fine even without insulin, but their untagged glucose levels didnt decline since there was no insulin to shut down the liver.

Nope. The results with bariatric patients shows the t2 diabetes is reversed in ~90% of the cases before any significant weight loss occurs. And studies with rats shows there t2 diabetes can exist in skinny rats. There's a guy in my office that looks anorexic but has severe t2 diabetes.

The usual pattern is insulin resistance by the liver, causing chronically high insulin levels, causing more insulin resistance. The high insulin levels causes extremely high levels of ghrelin which makes him feel like he's hungry (ghrelin is the hunger hormone), and can cause symptoms of hypoglycemia even at elevated sugar levels. All signaling frantically to the brain that he's starving to death.

Flour is a carb and brocoli is too; are they both the same? Of course not. Broccoli has a bunch of other nutrients and fiber that makes it healthy, flour is just carbs with a bit of a kind of protein which is also not that good for you.

There is also this little fact: carbs are completely unnecesary for our survival. Your own body is capable of producing the few carbs you need out of proteins. We're built to have an omnivore diet that eats pure carbs ocasionally and gets most of their nutrients from fat and protein. Bears are like that. They gorge on BERRIES (sugar) to build fat before the winter, they exploit that nasty side effect carbs have for their survival. We don't need that quirk though, we don't hivernate and our diets suggest we're always preparing for an hibernation.

I used to be morbidly obese. I've lost 170 lbs and am now at a healthy weight.

For me, I was really obsessed with sugar. I put down pounds of candy and sweets like it was nothing. I could easily eat 5000 calories worth of candy and confectioneries in a few minutes. And then I'd do it again in an hour or 2.

here I just found a study for you:
https://www.bhf.org.uk/heart-matters-magazine/news/behind-the-headlines/diabetes-and-weight-loss

>Among people who lost more than 15kg (2st 5lb) in the study, more than eight out of 10 (86 per cent) went into remission. In those who lost 10-15kg, more than half (57 per cent) of those who lost 10kg (1st 8lb) to 15kg, and 34 per cent of those who lost 5kg (11lb) to 10kg. No-one who didn’t lose any weight achieved diabetes remission, where their blood glucose levels were normal.

You are about 20 years out of date.
T2 diabetes can be reversed without any significant weight loss (within the individual's normal weight variability) or indeed with no weight loss at all.
Type 2 diabetes is not caused by weight, nor is weight loss necessary to reverse it. In all documented cases where this has been studied, t2 reversal resulting in lower insulin levels preceeded the weight loss - the weight loss did not preceed the t2 reversal.

I never said it wasn't necessary to lose fat around the liver, I said it wasn't necessary to lose weight.

Why should there be, if their obesity is the cause of their t2 diabetes? Why should a 0.5% change in weight result in a sudden reversal of their t2 diabetes? Especially when the subject's weight can vary by more than that over the holidays without affecting their t2 diabetes at all? The details have to be in the diet that caused the change, not the weight.
But that path of inquiry leads to the realization that insulin causes t2 diabetes and weight gain, not the other way around.

Depression's pretty weird. I feel like I should just blow everything off now because no matter what I do I'll always be a failure; I always feel one step away from screwing over my life irreversibly, like failing that exam and well fuck why even try just be a hedonistic asshole now (without actually enjoying anything because guilt) and when it all catches up to you put a bullet through your head ezpz. Only thing that snaps out of it is thinking about how absolutely devastated my parents would be, they always supported me and it's very clear they still love me. Thinking about letting my parents down like that usually sends me into a sobbing mess but it lets all the pressure out.

13g sugar x 4 cals = 52 cals

I stick to a mostly meat and veggies diet after getting diagnosed with prediabetes (was barely over underweight and 20 years old at the time) and I'm no longer prediabetic. The spots of darkened skin I had from it has also completely cleared.
I'm lazy and it still wasn't hard. If I don't feel like cooking I just microwave some frozen veggies for a few minutes and season with salt and coconut oil. I tried to suggest to my dad (type II diabetes) to at least switch out white bread and wheat noodles for buckwheat versions since it won't make blood sugar spike as high, if he's going to do literally nothing else, and he was like nah.

It was just a way of saying that they will not eat healthy vegetables. Everything has to be coated in either sugar or fat, and they will never touch any leafy green more complex than iceberg lettuce. They eat "salads" which are just lettuce and tomato coated in shredded cheese and full fat ranch. Every meal involves potatoes and white bread, and they wolf down potato or corn chips all day with soda and cookies. 9PM every night is ice cream time. They eat a lot of protein (meats) but aside from the 4x per week t-bone steaks, it's either some kind of chicken or pork that's absolutely fucking coated in sugar. They also drink 5 or 6 shots of liquor every evening.
