At that point, the 'x' in your equation will carry a lot more weight than you might be able to reckon right now, especially if you have children by then.

50/50 on that. Had a near miss there. Borderline type 2. Blasted weight down from 115kg to 65kg and changed diet. Now I still eat pizza, pasta, bread and chocolate all the time. Just reasonable amounts of it as part of a balanced diet. And not the crap shovelled out by fast food restaurants.

  GJ! Insulin resistance is much more a function of total caloric load and expenditures than composition. It's called metabolic syndrome, not high glycemic index syndrome. You reworked your lifestyle and metabolism and came back into the "zone" before you fell off the cliff. How much better do you feel?

    I went from climbing into my car to climbing mountains so definitely better :)

    The composition has a strong effect on total caloric load. I was a binge eater on high carb but not on low carb.
