Weight / Fat loss

^ I only say this as I have been sugarslutshamed into no longer wolfing 200g of sugar in one sitting.

Apparently*, even with an otherwise balanced diet, good general health and wellbeing, massive sugar / insulin spikes are still contributory to adult onset insulin insensitivity.

• I sort of knew this, but happily ignored it, cos percy pigs, fizzy drinks and ice cream are gooood.
  
  

If you are south asian you are statistically extremely likely to get the beetus. Whitey-europeans the least, then the Afro Carribeans, but (south) Asians the worst.

No idea if this is because south asians statistically have the worst lifestyle habits or that they are actually genuinely biologically more prone. But my THREE uncles (on my mothers side) all died due to type II diabetes. (two of them were actually very thin and they all did a decent amount of exercise) My mother has it too which has caused kidney failure and severe vision damage amongst other things.
There is plenty of the disorder on my Dads side too.

Every family I know of similar ethnicity seems to have a member or three who are afflicted.

Why am I rambling? Just a sort of warning I guess. Not likely (hopefully) to affect us active types. But be extra careful if you are in the risk groups, dont get lazy and fat as you get older. Be sensible with the amount of sugary gunk in your diet in proportion to your physical activity.
