food for thought about that issue:

I snipped this from something I read at LEF.org,

c&p:
Aromatase enzyme is found in fat tissue. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen, thus altering the ratio of estrogen to testosterone (Steiner MS et al 2003). Men who have excessive body fat, especially abdominal fat, are likely to have increased estrogen levels caused by aromatase activity and a dramatically increased estrogen level compared to testosterone. An increased estrogen level has been linked, in turn, to a host of disorders, including decreased insulin sensitivity and blood glucose problems. Some studies suggest that there is an association between a low testosterone level, insulin resistance, an elevated estrogen level, and increased body fat in aging men (Phillips GB 1993).
Man that sounds exactly like me. I carry all my weight in my belly, love handles and back. By insulin sensitivity does that basically mean my body does not do well with carbs? Because when I start eating carbs(like when I get off my diet) I put the weight on QUICKLY.

I will have to post a pic of myself and you will see where I carry all my fat. I will try and post one up tomorrow.
