The Real Cause of Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Now you have them, and you have to recognize and work with them, to keep these genes action from inadvertently doing you in.

Every growing season these Caveman found starch rich plants and berries, mushrooms etc and like the Bear, gorged themselves all summer and like the Bear put on quite a few pounds of fat. The sudden starch and sugar rich food of spring set off a Fat Storing Mode of super abundant Insulin, actually a Flood of insulin to cause your body to store fat..

Cavemans body (and the Bears) picked up on the plant based rise in Starches and sugars as a signal to turn on the FAT STORAGE HYPER QUANTITY OF INSULIN MODE.

INSULIN IS ACTUALLY THE BODYS FAT STORAGE HORMONE and over abundant HYPER INSULINISM means that any blood sugar that was not being used at the moment was promptly tucked away as fat.

This super abundant insulin supply apparently absorbs blood sugar and turns it to fat so fast the normal body cells are short changed and the host (caveman and bears) are tremendously hungry and eat constantly trying to appease it.

After an end to the three or four month growing season the starches and sugars disappeared from the Cavemans food intake and the FAT STORAGE MODE ABUNDANT HYPER INSULINISM production was automatically shut down. This end of the season signaled to the body of Caveman and Bears simply by no starch or sugars being eaten.

The summer plants and berries fattened Bear hibernated and went into a low metabolism mode (sleep) and made it thru the winter on just his fat.

Caveman lived off his fat in bad weather and supplemented with animals he could catch during breaks in the weather.

By spring, both the Bear and Caveman were down to no fat remaining on their body.

THIS CARRY OVER CAVEMAN PROGRAMMED INSTINCT YOU INHERITED NOT GETTING TURNED OFF IS LIKELY SET TO CAUSE YOU A LIFE TIME DISASTER .

Here is the zinger.
Obviously you never have had a draw down of fat stores as the Caveman did each winter. Instead you stay in the "Fat Storing Mode" and continue to add fat all year around. (and the super abundant Insulin levels) once started since your body never gets the "plentiful season" is over, turn off the "Fat Storing" message.

This quirk is what makes this instinct turn into a "killer" problem for us instead of a savior as it was developed by the Caveman body.

REVIEW: HOW YOU GOT INTO THIS

1. You had a binge period of high starch and sugars eaten and/or combined with high stress life situation.

2. Your inherited genes as a result TURN ON the FAT STORAGE MODE.

3. In FAT storage mode your body doubles or more your INSULIN, the fat storage hormone that then turns every blood sugar molecule available to FAT since it has been signaled that this is the "good season" of plentiful food.
   

4. This super abundant HYPER INSULINISM makes you constantly hungry so you will eat the maximum to make enough fat to get you thru the coming season famine.

5. You add fat at a rapid rate and no matter what steps you take the weight gain (fat storage continues)

6. You feel weak and lethargic and burn less glucose then usual adding to the fat gain.

7. Your good season of high starch and sugar goes on and on making your body cells awash in this continued HYPER INSULINISM, for a prolonged period of time. Result, body cells develop an INSULIN RESISTANCE in self defense

8. The NOT seasonally stopping fat storage HYPER INSULINISM then causes body cells developing INSULIN RESISTANCE which then raises your blood sugar levels because cells are no longer readily accepting sugar.

9. High blood sugar is compensated for by then raising INSULIN production even further to get now insulin resistant cells to accept blood sugar and thereby lower it.

10. Higher INSULIN means more cell resistance build up and the situation worsens as you get even fatter.

11. High amount of fat in storage worsens developing INSULIN RESISTANCE, particularly around the waist fat.

12. Abundantly High or Hyper Insulin Levels affects storing of magnesium which affects other hormones, causes retention of sodium which causes fluid retention and heart conditions.

13. New symptoms appear as a result of build up of INSULIN RESISTANCE, Fatigue, Brain fogginess, inability to focus, sleepy after meals, agitated and moody.

14. You finally discover you have Diabetes after severe symptoms cause you to seek medical attention.

15. Doctors lab determines you have off the chart high blood sugar.

16. Doctor prescribes medication to cut carb absorption, increase insulin reception and a medication that increases INSULIN production.

17. Sends you to a dietician for education on switching to low fat and low protein diet and "healthy" higher carbs.

18. Doctor tells you to lose weight.

19. Medication raises Insulin which stores even more fat making weight loss almost impossible.

20. Eventually requires raising Insulin production with more potent medication due to blood sugar rising again.

21. Eventually over driven pancreas gives up and stops turning out enough INSULIN.

22. Doctor then announces you must now go to insulin "injections".

23. Continued HYPER INSULINISM all along the way means body cell INSULIN RESISTANCE has increased, likely body fat has increased.

24. This progresses over time and the Doctor announces your INSULIN SHOT DOSAGE must be further increased.

25. We wont go any further with this, you already know that there will be Diabetes damage along the way, mainly heart and circulatory ailments kill 80% of diabetics. Nerve damage, Kidney and eye damage are all factors along this downward spiral

It likely does not matter whether the "Hyper Insulinism" was caused by a sudden high input of sugars and starches that caused your body to switch over to fat storage deciding this was the "plentiful" food season or some other key turned on the super abundance of Insulinism in your body. (We will take up "other" Hyper Insulinism "turn ons" later)

Here On, We Assume You Did Not End Your Obesity In Time

Whether you know it or not (better check) we assume you have progressed to pre-diabetes or full diabetes.

Remember, I am telling you that Obesity and Diabetes are symptoms of the same "Hyper INSULINISM" disease. The words are almost interchangeable. Obesity = Diabetes, Diabetes = Obesity. They are cut of the same cloth. They go together like bread and butter.

After Four Months Of Super Abundant Insulin, Body Glucose Absorbing Cells Apparently Start To Develop A Resistance To Insulin And Its Cell "Turn On Glucose Absorption" Abilities.

Each day the cell resistance gets greater and greater, takes an even higher level of Insulin
produced by the pancreas to get these cells to absorb glucose.

The "High Insulin" now is due to the huge requirement for Insulin needed to cause the cells to open up and receive glucose.

Eventually even with four times the normal production of Insulin, it does not keep up, your blood sugar as a result goes sky high, body parts damage starts occurring and Diabetes is now in full effect.

This continued over supply of unabsorbed glucose either stays in our blood stream, (worse case) or stored as glycogen by the liver (3500 calories max) and/or balance is converted to body fat, and/or is disposed of in urine. and takes many vitamins and minerals along with it.

Controlling your blood sugar level has nothing to do with helping this and does not stop the non glucose absorbing cells that are starving from continue being starved and damaged.

THIS IS WHY WE SAY "SUGAR LEVEL CONTROL" DOES NOT STOP DIABETES DAMAGE PROGRESSION

This is the main reason my articles warn you that your diabetes progresses despite your glucose level and the former high reading peaks are now (finger prick readings) apparently now under your control.

The way I now see it is that you are deceiving yourself with a false sense of security that "my glucose (blood sugar) levels are fine, so I am fine"..

The Diabetes Cure (and completely stopping progression of the disease and its damage) lies only in getting these INSULIN RESISTANT, no longer "glucose absorbing" cells, back to absorbing glucose normally.

Everything else you or your medical team is doing to affect your diabetes, is from my view point just treating symptoms, and has little to nothing to do with stopping progression and damage. (or ever "curing" your diabetes.)

Still researching this but as I write this, this is what it appears to me should be done right away, without delay.

Remember I am just a writer with no medical qualifications, I am writing to educate, not to give you medical advice. Check with your medical advisor before making any changes.

Once the damage is underway, there is almost no way to stop it from progressing. When you find out about it, you are already too late. Most of the damage is considered as "irreversible."

If you have been paying attention as you read this you should have picked up on the idea that your disease is self perpetuating in a downward trend.

The longer your delay, in taking charge of your Diabetes, the more heroic the efforts needed to try to slow it down or stop it.

Stop the super abundant Insulin production caused by the
Fat Storage Mode body turn on. To do this you need to tell your body the "good high availability
food season" is over and it is time to shut down "fat storage". Cutting out most if not all sugar and high starch (carbs) input will do just that.

You will need to get on a low carb diet like Paleo Diet, Atkins, Origin Diet, Protein power, Neanderthin, any good Caveman Diet.

This will be a major life change for you.
These will all shut down "fat storage mode" and you should lose considerable weight.

The turning point for most getting control of their Diabetes is when they get to a ten percent weight loss. Look at the charts of ideal weight for your height. That's where you want to go.

Remember, the medical community has poo pooed the Atkins and other low carb diets. All completed competent research studies now confirm Atkins and other low carb diets are far more successful in lowering all factors that need to be lowered then the low fat high carb diets that have been traditionally recommended.

Then they said, it is all a matter of calories.
If both lowered calories the same the weight loss would be the same. Latest study shows on the same calories the low carb people lost more weight.

With Diabetes it is obvious that carbs are the blood sugar problem. Therefore I will not further argue the low carb case, it should be obvious.

This shutting off the Fat Storage Mode was the first step. Next you must do what ever necessary to get your blood sugar under control right away. Switching to low carb and/or a good caveman diet will do much to drop your blood sugar in short order. I would say go cold turkey (the hard way) and go thru the painful withdrawal from all the sweets and foods you have been addicted to.

Hardest for me was suddenly stopping all milk and ice cream. It gets easier after 21 days. That is the time it takes to break a habit.
Remember, no cheating.  If you do the 21 days starts over.

You may temporarily require medication and your Doctor will likely start you on Metaformin. (Also called Gougaphage) This has side affects that I decided where something I did not want to participate in any more, but it does help lose weight. One of the things it does is it suppresses some of the digestion of carbs. If you don't eat it you do not need it suppressed. Next and most important it helps overcome some cell Insulin resistance.

When you get to where you can get your blood sugar to reasonable levels by diet and exercise (and supplements) alone as I did you can likely go off it as I did. You may well not have to go on any medication at all if you get your diet in shape along with daily exercise. (supplements are also a factor, we take up elsewhere.)

NEXT GET YOUR INSULIN LEVEL LOWERED TO NORMAL,

Ask your doctor to run Insulin level tests at the same time you have your A1C tests done (blood sugar level ) Once you have this figure you can find out if insulin is running HYPER high to control your blood sugar.

If if is, your insulin resistance is only going to get worse. Also as you strive to get your insulin level down you can keep track if you are making progress or not.

AVOID MEDICATIONS THAT INCREASE INSULIN PRODUCTION IF YOU CAN

These put you into hypoglycemic problems (too low blood sugar)
that can put you into a coma and even kill you.
(Insulin shock, happened to me three times at work.)

Main reason to avoid keeping high insulin levels is you are trying to overcome INSULIN RESISTANCE in your cells that got that way because of high insulin. You are never going to get out of Insulin resistance if you maintain super high insulin levels.

Last reason: they make it almost impossible to lose weight without severe riding herd on each spoonful you eat.
Insulin is a fat storing hormone and that is just what it will do in such high levels.

You need to get out of this usual downward trap of high insulin=higher Insulin resistance and more body fat, which then =higher blood sugar and =even higher insulin and on and on where everything only gets worse.

That makes no sense to me at all, I would suggest lower and control blood sugar with supplements and your diet with eating very low carbs, or none at all, do whatever it takes, this is a life or death issue. Get exercise daily (at least ten thousand steps,) Buy a pedometer.

You now know the difference and get to chose a route where everything about your diabetes gets only worse with time, or chose a method where your diabetes gets better and better with time, and you even have hope of a cure.

If your Doctor does not go along with this I would consider getting a different Doctor.

Very low carb diet is needed initially to help you figure out how to control your blood sugar and soon your Insulin level as well. The Atkins diet is very well spelled out and managed down to the decimal point. You will need the book and will have most everything spelled out for you. Weight loss is sensational the first few weeks and continues at a lower level over time with the average weight loss at something like 40 pounds.

Atkins diet (and all the Caveman and similar diets will also) will right off stop the "Fat Storage Mode", we have been telling you about. They have a new book out the Atkins Diabetes Revolution which I have read.
Atkins, and all Caveman type diets work well for diabetics, being low carb.

CAVEMAN DIET IS SIMPLE, CURES MODERN MAN DISTORTIONS THAT MAY BE BASIS FOR DIABETES EPIDEMIC

Your body is inherited from cave man and was set up and developed over 100,000 generations.
Agriculture came along and there were about 10,000 generations since then. Only a couple of generations have had to deal with highly processed and refined foods. So you and I are 99% cave man bodys.

This body was never made to handle what we are eating now.
Take my word for it, I have read several books etc on the subject. There are a zillion theories about which part of the modern man diet and life style change is giving you and I all this Diabetes disaster.

So I figure, I will go to the Cave man diet, which is basically if cave man did not eat it I do not eat it.
That way my diet fits the body design I am stuck with. No updated bodys available. Fuel it with what it was designed to run on.

Almost all agree diet is the major problem with diabetes. Caveman diet is about 60% fat and protein and carbs all come with very high fiber.

There is not much information available on the subject since concentration has been almost solely on what is merely the symptoms, not the disease.

Will write it up when I finish early research on the subject right here.

.
Personally am working on lowering my own Hyper Insulinism and will report on this site as soon as I have some success (or failure) to report. It is often just as important to find out what does not work as to what does.

100% of the Population Used This Diet for 100,000 years.....and it worked..

Emphasis is on switching to the Caveman diet so you start affecting things immediately. Good book available at Amazon: The Paleo Diet. ff you are just overweight (not yet diabetic,) and want to not go on as restricting a diet as Paleo, try the Origin Diet, which is liberalized Caveman. or Order them both..

If your are ordering from Amazon, they also have "The Diabetes Improvement Program" which I highly recommend.
Good information in all these including recipes..... about $10.00 to $12 dollars each as I recall.

These diets are very easy to do, no counting, no keeping track, no hungry periods, Good tasting food. You can find lists on the internet and we will be publishing one too, that is just basically two lists... one, of things you should eat, and a second list of what to not eat any more of.

The books above will handy reference and are of diets you will want to stay on for the rest of your life. They will make a big difference in your overall health and well being.

Interesting side note, Pima Indians in Arizona have one of the highest Diabetes rates in the world. Over 50% of the population. Their diet is very high carb, but before modern man the equal calories came from very high fiber. Now the same calories nearly but are low fiber refined food. Those Pima Indians that went to Mexico and eat a much more closely to their original diet have a much lower incidence of Diabetes.

My goal is to pretty much duplicate what this model of my body ran on in the earlier models.

Very simple system. Eat often and only when hungry. (never go hungry) Eat as much as you want whenever you want.

Takes me very little time to prepare food, grocery bill has gone down nearly 50%,(no prepared or processed food) I have rather easily lost 44 pounds in seven months. (continue to lose 2 pounds a week) without really any real effort at all. (just ate natural), Nothing to keep track of, no calculator needed. Did not really work at losing weight, it just sort of happened as I merrily ate away on the cave man menu. My blood sugar is now at 6.1 (a1c) down from 10.5 and about 110 fasting in finger blood test down from 250 and all with no medication. It is constantly improving.

Attribute this in part to the cave man diet, part to supplements, and a small part to more exercise.

Here are some other side benefits.

• Arthritis in one finger used to bother me. now is gone.
• Night sweats, (sweat gland nerves must have died) no longer have that.
• Wounds used to take months to heal completely, now make it in 3 weeks.
• Allergies are 80% gone
• Recouped 70% of the feelings in my feet (diabetic neuropathy) Most of that from another cure but continue to improve on their own.
• Blurry vision that had started has gone away.
• Fatigue rate has changed for the better since cave man diet.

My dentist tells me that on this diet (no more sugar) that I should have no more cavities. I look it up and sure enough, they found that typical caveman had no cavities.

There are several good books of course, (Paleo Diet ) is one of them, and a lot of information on the diet on the internet. Research words. Caveman Diet, Paleolithic Diet, Hunter Gatherer Diet,

Here is a great web site to read up on low carb and Caveman type diets. Good postings by other folks on diets. Also read some of the studies published here with updates. http://www.lowcarb.ca/

Go direct to discussions on the same site: http://forum.lowcarber.org/

Here is a web site with good information on high insulin, etc. http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/insulin.htm

No I am not giving medical advice, consult your Doctor before making changes. I am reporting my findings and what seems logical and makes sense out of all this for me. I am reporting my conclusions after extensive research.

Currently just finished reading my fortieth book on Diabetes, Neuropathy etc

Likely over 200 web sites on the subject, newsletters, and reviewed over 100 Diabetes studies. Daily I receive and review 2 or 3 periodical articles and or studies that appear in publications and web sites all over the world. If you run across anything you think I would find interesting or helpful on the subject please e-mail me at HarlanJacobsen@Webtv.net and be sure and put word "Diabetes" in the subject line to get by spam filters even if it is not about Diabetes.

I will be doing some articles on my Caveman Diet I am personally using, and the updated results in the near future.

Epilogue You probably know some one like Uncle Charlie who got heavier and heavier and would eat 3 or 4 doughnuts and 2 or 3 servings of most everything. He tried several diets and lost 10 or 15 pounds but when he quit, in a short time he was back with even more pounds added. He just could not stop eating. You figured he was addicted to food or just had a lack of "will power". Eventually he was over 100 pounds overweight, came down with diabetes, and in a few months after that was determined, he died of heart complications. 80% of Diabetics die of heart and circulatory problems You figured he did it to himself. He had no one else to blame. Such an intelligent person and such a nice guy, you just can not believe he let that happen. After reading the "Real Cause" article here I hope you understand now that Uncle Charlie was caught up in the FAT trap. Likely it all started when Charlie went on a little starch and sugar binge and his "Caveman inherited" bodily "fat storage mode" was activated having received these clues that this was the "ample food season," His body instinctively tried to store as much fat as it could to carry it over the next winter or other famine, and instinctively raised his fat storing hormone, Insulin to several times the usual level. When Insulin goes up it suppresses blood sugar. (hypoglycemia) Sometimes so low you can go unconscious. You are literally driven to eat by this hunger just to stay alive. Only a small amount of what Charlie ate raised his blood sugar. Most was converted by the huge amount of insulin directly into fat. So Uncle Charlie, no matter how hard he tried not to, ate everything in sight. Understand Charlie was caught up and left powerless by "instinctive" Fat Trap number one. Cavemen then used this instinctive stored fat to get thru the winter or some other famine of "hard to find food." Charlie never had the "hard to find food season" so he just kept on the "instinctive store fat when it is plentiful season" and his high insulin never got shut down. After a year or two of this very high insulin fat store mode Charles body cells developed a resistance to this prolonged flood of Insulin. This refusal to accept insulin meant his cells were not absorbing blood sugar normally so his body raises the Insulin level even more to make them accept sugar. (Insulin's other job) While more fat is being made some of his cells are because of Insulin resistance "starved" for sugar despite high blood sugar. Charlie now experiences extreme hunger and eats everything he can, particularly sweets. Charlie was now in to instinctive "Fat Trap" number two. Then Charlie is diagnosed with Diabetes. This notes high blood sugar is doing serious body damage, The Doctor prescribes a medication that makes the pancreas further raise Insulin to suppress the high blood sugar. Charlie remains and is now locked in Fat Trap 2, Charlie is told he has to lose weight. With this high Insulin he just can not. ............... It kills Uncle Charlie. Charlie did not know he could have stopped "Fat Trap" number one simply by making an abrupt change in his diet, to shut down the instinctive "Fat Storage Mode his body was caught in. Hopefully you have read this in time so you know. We can truly say if you do nothing you have no one but yourself to blame.
