I'm in a similar situation to what you were, 300+ but perfect A1C and fasting insulins.

I didn't eat my way to this on fat and protein though, it was through abusing carbohydrates. Through in a very unhealthy serving seed oils and you have a recipe for disaster. I'm NOW controlling insulin and glucose through limiting carbohydrates.

My best theory on why the weight stubbornly remains is the lack of consistent exercise and also the lack of the correct exercise. I just recently began replacing one meal with a Keto Chow shake, with extra cream because I'm only eating twice a day, and also adding in 4 actual shots of HWC to get more fat in. I like protein a lot you see and I can eat the crap out of it. This has helped me lower the amount of protein I'm eating.

The other part I'm adding are full effort "sprints". I'm starting with 2 full effort motions for 15 seconds a night and plan on working my way up to 6. This is an effort to reduce the visceral fat stores that were built from abusing carbohydrates and over eating seed oils. There's enough evidence to convince me that having large amounts of visceral fats=death.

Current plan is using a Bowflex M3 thingy I bought for the wife as an expensive coat hanger for the max effort cardio and using the X3 resistance bands I bought for myself to look at apparently to place the greatest load I can in the shortest amount of time on the muscles. While still being somewhat safe.

On Oceania: Fiji, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea (aka the cluster on the left) are all Melanesian, a group almost completely genetically & culturally distinct from the Polynesians (and related Micronesians) that populate the rest of Oceania.

Within countries that have both populations, like New Zealand or French-controlled New Caledonia, Poly/Micronesians are much more obese than Melanesians or Europeans.
