you know when you look around uh at the difference  between men and women one big difference is where  

they hold their fat so with women they  have more what’s called subcutaneous fat  

the superficial layer underneath the  skin and they have more deposits of fat  

and what is called the gluteal femoral and that’s  the buttocks the hips because femoral femur that’s  

in your thighs and then you have gluteal which is  the butt area and the wraps around the hips but  

with men they don’t really hold their fat as much  subcutaneously they hold it more viscerally in the  

gut right and what determines where they hold the  weight is the level of estrogen they have as far  

as the risk factors to other problems whether  or not the subcutaneous fat which is caused by  

estrogen is more protective against some of  these metabolic diseases visceral fat is way more  

dangerous because it puts you at risk for heart  disease diabetes inflammation insulin resistance  

a fatty liver and metabolic diseases which  is diabetes high blood pressure etc and so  

women have less risk factors for getting all  these conditions due to the amount of estrogen  

until they reach menopause where this risk factor  then is now equal to a man why because of the drop  

in estrogen now your fat tissue called adipose  tissue is glandular it produces hormone it is  

a storage for fuel it has many other functions  and so when you get insulin resistance you can  

have insulin resistance of different tissues  you can have insulin resistance of your liver  

you can have insulin resistance in your muscles in  your fat cells which then can impair the function  

of your fat cell now what’s going to happen is now  that fat cell is not holding or accepting the fat  

anymore you get this spillover effect which this  fat then becomes something called ectopic which  

means it no longer goes in the adipose tissue  it goes in other organs around organs in between  

organs and then this causes more dysfunction  in the gland and it can also worsen insulin  

resistance so you have insulin resistance which  increases insulin which is causing more fat to  

be in your liver and other organs and then  you have the fat and the organs in the liver  

actually causing insulin resistance so both  of these situations are feeding each other  

now if you read some of the research on this  they’ll always recommend the solution being you  

need to lose weight okay and many times they don’t  actually mention going on a low carb diet which is  

quite interesting they just focus on the losing  weight but if you try to lose weight without  

lowering your carbohydrates you’re not necessarily  going to fully resolve this insulin resistance  

problem because insulin is the main storage for  fat insulin is the main hormone that determines  

whether you’re going to burn fat or not because  when insulin goes up your body is going to then  

prevent the loss or the burning of that fat i  wouldn’t necessarily focus on just losing weight  

i would focus on primarily getting your insulin  down fixing insulin resistance to do that the best  

way is to do healthy keto and intermittent fasting  and for that information i put the link down below  

check it out hey before you go if  you’re benefiting from any of my content  

i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
