So, if I understand correctly, what you're saying is that when your body feels as though it's constantly stressed out, whether from exercise or some other stressor, what can happen is that it switches on pathways to develop insulin resistance so that, rather than putting food stuff into, say, muscle storage or liver storage, you might actually create new fat cells or put glucose, you know, that has been converted into triglycerides, et cetera, into fat cells so that your body has storage to rely upon in times of need even though you're not necessarily in a time of need.
