Why are so many people angry when they hear that fat people are fat because chubby bodies respond differently to carbohydrates??
It seems that these angry folk are people who can handle eating carbohydrates with ease. They want to think everyone else is just like them, and when they see other people getting fat because those bodies can't handle carbs, the carb munchers truly believe it's because the fat folk are lazy or lacking willpower or are greedy and simply not trying.
They have a vested interest in viewing carbohydrates as a good thing because that means they are the norm, and fat people are just like them, but laaaazy ergo, not as good as them.
It's their belief that they obtained their health through their own willpower. It's in their perceived self interest to believe that they're lean because they have will power and they eat "right." They have the sense to behave properly, not like those pathetic fatty mcfatties! It's all about ego and preserving their superiority.
This false ego aggrandizement requires that they look at the group who don't process carbs well as inferior. When the idea arises that the carb intolerant group are fat because they process carbs differently, it threatens the identity and worth of the group who can easily consume carbs.
They think it's an excuse! They think that fat people want an excuse to not behave properly and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and eat like lean people do.
They don't want to believe in the science behind these differences because they want to believe that exercise and willpower are what made them thin, not that their bodies efficiently utilise carbohydrates.
Why can't they say this is great news! Fat people can easily lose weight! Instead they harp on their belief that this scientific evidence is bogus and is simply an excuse for fat people to continue stuffing their faces, with fat no less.
It's actually silly pitting naturally thin people vs. naturally fat people or rather carbohydrate efficient processors vs. carbohydrate inefficient processors, but these carbomunchers want it that way. They are continually putting themselves on top of the fat phobic pyramid, and the whole diet industry does it too. And they keep selling the wrong message to fat people. Eat like me and you'll be thin too. It's lies though.
When I don't eat carbohydrates, I'm not hungry all the time. I'm not hungry, so I don't think about eating. I don't have to think about what I shouldn't be eating, because I'm not thinking much about eating period. I'm satiated. This is what people who process carbs efficiently don't understand. When I don't eat carbs, I think I'm experiencing life close to how an efficient carb processor does, and I have to say they don't even experience hunger the same way a person who don't process carbs efficiently does. When an inefficient carb processor eats carbohydrates, they get extreme insulin surges in their veins, screaming at them to eat more carbs. It's that simple. Insulin sensitive vs Insulin resistant. There is no way these different physiologies can do well eating the same high carbohydrate diet.
The carb efficient, insulin sensitive, folk can congratulate themselves on the fact that they can eat carbs all they want, but harping on the idea that "fat people just need to use willpower," is pathetic, because the efficient carbohydrate processor's will isn't being challenged at all compared to what carb intolerant folk go through when they eat carbs.
People who utilize carbs efficiently simply don't experience hunger the same way a carbohydrate intolerant person does when they eat carbs. Period. And propagating that false belief that a low fat, low calorie, high carb diet is a good fit for everyone is going to make many people fat and unhealthy and hungry while they're eating it. There's some real Hunger Games for ya.
