A subject’s blood sugar response is identical whether a dose of glucose is given by mouth or intravenously. But, despite the same level of blood sugar, the subject’s insulin levels differ greatly. Remarkably, the insulin response to oral glucose was much more powerful.

Close to 67 percent of the insulin response is still unknown—which is tantalizingly close to the 70 percent contribution to obesity that is inherited, as described in chapter 2.

So for now, let’s just say that stubborn fat presents three major problems: It doesn’t have a high enough ratio of beta receptors to alpha receptors, so it doesn’t respond to adrenal fat-burning stimulation. It is highly sensitive to estrogen, which promotes the growth of estrogen-sensitive fat tissues and thus accelerates fat gain. And, on top of
