yes lots of insulin with beer drinking. it only takes 67 grams of fast acting carbs to cause an insulin release. so a ber hashan that ( most do some donti kinow) so if your drinking alot of beer you get alot of insulin released. and yes alcohol causes stomach inflamation too plus it stretches your gut out. when mike was in contest mode he ate carbs and had alcohol every nite ( he said he used it to help relax) lol
I don't see how insulin per se, the actual mechanics, will cause a distended stomach. Same with HGH.
They give AIDS patients and children tons of hgh and no distended stomach. Millions of diabetics use tons of insulin, including my aunt, with no distended stomach. I want to distinguish between a fatso stomach and a distended gut. My uncle is the classic skinny/fat. Skinny arms/ skinny legs, narrow shoulders but distended belly. Loves his beer drinking. He even comments on how his stomach protrudes when he drinks while patting his belly and claiming it's a trophy of the good life. lol!
I can see the mechanics of stuffing your belly with food and liquids over the course of many years and make your gut protrude but I can't see how slin/gh stretches your belly.
Would be interested in Van B's opinion.
