I think the disease we call obesity and blame on a lack of willpower is simply the result of "thrifty" genes that do poorly with the modern diet. I've never gone completely diabetic but I'm insulin resistant and have always found I do better on a low-carb diet. Trouble is that I can't seem to stay on a low-carb diet--the cravings become overwhelming. Hoping that a bit of surgery will fix that monkey on my back.
