[quote="Robin55"]I'm glad I came across this thread. As a person who had gastric bypass and still has not reached their goal weight, I am very interested in learning how to rejuvenate my metabolism again. I do not want to end up diabetic and since I already have arthritis in several joints and my back, I want to continue to take the weight off so I don't end up on a wheelchair in ten years. I don't expect this thread to be a miracle cure, but it seems as if some good info could be gleaned from it. Looking forward to more info. :)[/quote]

The point of the thread is that there is mounting evidence that fat cells (adipocytes) in the midsection region are often damaged in terms of energy metabolism and that there is a circulatory/mitochondrial connection to this. A number of new studies support this. <br /> <br />With respect to watching glycemic index and the relation to belly fat, that would all fit within this understanding. Damaged adipocytes in the midsection do not properly metabolize glucose, so yes, staying away from high glycemic loads will help. <br /> <br />Glycemic index is not a very good way to look at sugar loads, though. Glycemic load is much better. You have to factor in both how fast a carb is broken into glucose and how much glucose is delvered. Glycemic index only factors in how fast which means you have to memorize a stupid list. The easy way is simply to think understand that eating medium to big amounts of fast acting carbs equals a high glycemic load.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Patti</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 6:55 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I'm not so sure about the science here.
