No It The Wooo, I meant exactly what I said.
How much carbohydrates and the resulting insulin rush hypes the metabolism is based on insulin resistance. A person with high insulin resistance will convert the glucose to body fat while feeling weak and low on energy. This is what causes obesity.
Quote:
Insulin directly suppresses metabolism; the higher your insulin, the less calories your body will burn, and therefore the easier it is for you to gain weight.

Your quote above is backwards. Insulin increases the metabolism. This is why high carb eaters feel warmer and sweat easier than people on low carb. Insulin forces the cells to accept and burn the glucose until resistance sets in.
Basically, your understanding of insulin, metabolism and weight gain is seriously incorrect. I suggest you read Atkin's books or Protein Power.
