*** ARTICLE *** Decreasing insulin resistance and increasing sensitivity

Has to be partly both.

If I can eat all this and not raise my insulin... then the slin isnt shuttling said junk food into storage. Which is good. But also bad.
I wont gain weight (fat)... but I wont gain weight (muscle) when I do eat proper foods. lol

But also... my metabolism burns the junk off.

Good point, and actually kind of contradictory to my situation which is very very interesting. Yours makes perfect sense. I am having a hard time figuring out how I can store bodyfat SO efficiently, yet am very inefficient at adding LBM. Insulin resistance could explain the inefficiency of LBM gains. But storing bodyfat - genetically predisposed?

Well to me, for your situation it would make sense that lets say; your insulin is always high... so a bigger percentage of what you do intake DOES get shuttled into fat stores.

Hence, some of your food goes to building muscle, and the rest (probably most) goes into fat storage.

On top of you most likely not having the added benefit of an efficient metabolism... it compounds and you have your problem.

I missed this before, but BINGO. I believe you're right sir, thanks for the clarity!!

Now to address it...

Insulin resiatnce is when insulin is less effecftive at lowering blood sugars. It results in high blood sugar , fat gain , and diffuicultly losing wieght. Not the ability to eat whatever you want and stay lean like some people on here i hate (EH.......hmm... dukkit. j/k bro how u been ?).
It also can result in many other undesirable conditions like high trigylcerides and increased risk for heart disease.
Insulin resistance is the opposite of insulin sesativity and is NOT desirable in any way shape or form.
