Congrats, your metabolism (FAO, gluconeogenesis, insulin sensitivity, …) works well. Don’t assume that’s the case for everyone, because it’s well researched that this is highly individual.

You know nothing about my metabolism.

Well one of those has to work well or you would have fainted by now.

The ability to tolerate discomfort is probably as genetic/inante as metabolism.

>>paulpa+L
Why would we think that? Tolerating discomfort seems to be a skill that anyone can develop with deliberate practice. Perhaps genetics imposes some upper limit, but just like in sports most people never put in the work necessary to even approach their genetic limit.

It's winter in the Northern hemisphere right now. Try going for a walk tomorrow deliberately undressed to the point that you're deeply uncomfortable but not risking serious injury or death. Anyone can do this, and over time it makes tolerating other forms of discomfort easier.

Insulin sensitivity is made better or worse with diet alone

Metabolism also isn't immutable. Ask anyone who became vegetarian for example.
