Fat Accumulates Differently in Diabetic Patients

A new study proves that where you store fat determines your risk for becoming type II diabetic.  Using advanced whole body magnetic resonance imaging, 93 overweight individuals were analyzed.  Diabetic patients had higher levels of visceral fat (abdominal and around organs) and intermuscular fat (surrounding muscles).  Those who were overweight but did not have type II diabetes have higher amounts of subcutaneous fat (just beneath the skin) and lower amounts of visceral and intermuscular fat.

This information indicates that all weight gain is not the same in terms of diabetes risk.  The fastest way to gain visceral fat is to gain weight from a combination of a high fat diet and a lack of exercise – which is why so many junk food consuming teenagers are now type II diabetic.  Saturated fat, in and of itself, is not a bad thing.  It becomes bad when it is eaten with low fiber, low fresh fruit and vegetables, and high amounts of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and fried fats. 

The bottom line is that excess consumption of calories, especially fat, during weight gain is likely to clog body organs and muscles – a process of accumulating fat in all the wrong places.  The process can be reversed by regular exercise and following The Leptin Diet.
