14. INSULIN: A Closer Look Insulin Resistance: The cells in our bodies are resistant to absorbing insulin and glucose to use for energy so glucose must be stored as fat.

15. INSULIN: A Closer Look Insulin Resistance: The cells in our bodies are resistant to absorbing insulin and glucose to use for energy so glucose must be stored as fat. High Protein Diet Theory: 75% of Americans are insulin resistant. A high carbohydrate intake leads to a dramatic surge of insulin. Because of insulin resistance, the glucose cannot be used for energy so it is stored as fat. Therefore carbohydrates make you FAT!

16. INSULIN: The Reality 10-25% of Americans are insulin resistant Most with insulin resistance are: Obese Sedentary (insulin receptor sites and glycogen stores are full. Glucose stored as fat.) Treatment: Increase activity and decrease weight. This will deplete glycogen stores and increase blood glucose absorption. Less insulin is needed.
