> It is completely orthogonal to weight but insulin resistance makes it much easier to gain even more weight. Insulin sensitive women on the high carb diet lost nearly double the weight as insulin sensitive women on the low-carb diet. Similarly, insulin resistant women lost twice the weight on the low-carb diet as on the high carb diet. https://bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/insulin-sensitivity-and-fat-loss#The_Impact_of_Insulin_Sensitivity_or_Secretion_on_Dietary_Response https://bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/insulin-sensitivity-a... > It is entirely possible to be obese without insulin resistance and to be skinny with insulin resistance. This is what I said >> Exercise does this most effectively, loosing weight also does this. Low carb diets don't do this directly, only through weight loss. A more precise way: A caloric deficit can also increase insulin sensitivity.
