“Well, after 58 years I know what does and doesn’t work for my body nutritionally quite well. If things change I’ll then look to the source of that change. But there’s no such “reality” I have to deal with now.”
Remember, however, this discussion was not about you. The discussion was about people who do not have the ability to lose significant amounts of body fat by exercise. You wrote:
“Not really an issue if you exercise enough to burn it off as glycogen.”
As I originally observed, people experiencing metabolic syndrome lack the metabolic capability to reduce significant body fat by exercise.
No, my original post was in response to your blanket assertion, in response to someone else's comment about bacon, that eating meat would necessarily inhibit weight loss. Nothing in the title to this thread, the original article or your comment qualified the discussion to those suffering from "metabolic syndrome". And that's fine. I'll leave the discussion to only those suffering from this condition or interested in it. I only clicked on the thread out of a general interest in fitness and nutrition but I'm not that interested in a specialized condition that only applies to a limited number of people. For those who are interested in this, please carry on. I'll leave.
