Insulin And Weight Loss
You can ignore all the different angles and theories and focus on one thing: controlling insulin. Why is insulin so important? Because it ultimately controls how much fat you can lose.
You see, no matter how much you run, no matter how much you lift weights, no matter how many supplements you take, if insulin is high you will never lose fat.
Thus, here is how to lower insulin for better weight loss:
1. Stick to low GI carbs. Carbohydrates by far have the biggest impact on insulin levels compared to other macronutrients. So if you have anything white in your diet or if drink a lot of liquid calories, it is time to start phasing these foods out.
2. Get in shape. Paradoxically, you need lower levels of insulin to lose weight, and you need to lose weight so that insulin decreases. In other words, the more fat you lose, the less insulin your body will produce to function properly. This is one of the reasons why thin people can eat a lot and not gain weight as fast as heavy people.
3. Deal with the carb withdrawal. Sugar triggers the same areas in the brain that drugs trigger. This is a proven fact. So once you ditch all the sugar and fast digesting carbs, you may miss the rush. A good way to overcome this is with loose leaf teas and with distracting activities.
4. Avoid the whole grain mentality. We have been told for far too long that whole grains are healthy. And while they do contain more fiber than sugary foods, they are still NOT optimal for weight loss. We did not evolve over history to eat whole grains.
5. Ditch the martini. I bet you have heard about the effects of alcohol ad nauseum. Well, get ready to hear them again. You see, alcohol has a TON of calories and it promotes the storage of fat around your stomach. So please stay away, far away from the spirits.
Mastering insulin will allow you to lose as much weight or fat as you want. Time and again the research keeps on pointing to insulin as the main reason for excess weight gain. So get on top of your insulin levels and start losing weight today. - 17274
