Burn Fat by Controlling Insulin Levels

Insulin can be described as the fat storing hormone, as well as the hormone which can prevent you from burning fat.

Why am I overweight / Obese and why can’t I Burn fat?

You have to understand how Insulin works, before you will be able to understand weight gain and the reason why you can’t burn fat.

1. Our modern day diets include too much processed foods, which contain high amounts of sugar, fats and preservatives. Sugars and fats supply our bodies with energy, but the problem is that we consume too many carbohydrates, which elevate blood sugar levels, causing the pancreas to release a lot of insulin.
2. The constant high levels of insulin in the blood causes the cells to become resistant and they cannot store glucose anymore. This we call insulin resistance.
3. When the cells become resistant to insulin, insulin levels as well as glucose levels in the blood rises, which can cause type-2 diabetes.The high levels of insulin in the blood prevents the cells from releasing the stored energy and that is why you cannot lose weight or burn any fat.
4. A lack of exercise is the next big problem, because blood glucose cannot be reduced if we don’t burn it by means of exercise. 

So, we are diagnosed with either Insulin Resistance and/or diabetes, can’t lose weight and try to rectify it with medication.

If you to take control of your health, you will be able to reverse all insulin related ailments.

4 – Steps to reverse Insulin Problems

1.    Understand Insulin

2.    Reduce all carbohydrates in your diet, at least until you have recovered your health. To keep insulin levels as low as possible is of the utmost importance and the first step to achieve this is by manipulating the body through diet and exercise to require very little insulin.

3.    Exercise is non-negotiable. Start walking for at least 30 t0 45 minutes per day. A brisk walk will do, because you have to burn the excess glucose in the blood, reduce the insulin levels as well as to stimulate the cells to release the stored energy.

4.    Enough Sleep is also very important, to give your body time to recover.
