In contrast to insulin sensitivity, there is
also a condition called insulin resistance. And
...
Leptin resistance leads to insulin resistance.
Let’s recap: You chronically
overconsume, because supernormally
stimulating, nutrient-poor food has no brakes.
This makes you leptin resistant, which means
your brain thinks you are too lean (even if the
mirror tells you otherwise). This leads your
brain to tell you to eat more and move less,
which promotes further overconsumption.
You are now metabolically reliant on sugar
for energy, you continue to accumulate fat in
the body and the liver, and have excess

All of that excess glucose needs to be
stored. The trouble is, jamming lots of energy
into a cell causes damage. So to protect
