Weight Loss and Balanced Blood Sugar Levels. The Missing Link
Isn’t weight loss a complete mystery that seems to escape those seeking it? Furthermore, there is an endless Muddle of products being sold today that, short of emotionally teasing individuals of larger stature, have documented testimonials from fortunate individuals who have gained benefits by losing weight.
The foremost concern that I hear from my patients regarding weight loss and weight loss products is…
“Once I lose the weight, it will just come right back when I go off of the diet, right?”
“Yes, that’s right”, I say, “ but only if you lose weight the wrong way…”
Nutritional supplements and Fad Diets, such as Atkins, South Beach Diet, Master Cleanse, and Mediterranean Diets all work very well for losing weight, but it is only effective at keeping the weight off…if the diet sufficiently regulates your blood sugar and metabolism. Weight Gain and Weight Loss are affected by some genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, and glandular imbalances like hypothyroidism, but for the most part a stable weight can be controlled by learning to eat the proper foods, combining foods adequately, and supplementing nutrition when needed.
People can definitely lose weight by starving themselves...
Nobody will disagree with that, but the cost is that the weight will come back, but sometimes more severe. The Reason: The blood sugar was imbalanced long enough to create a stress reaction, called a Sympathetic (Fight or Flight) reaction. The Result: The body has a protective mechanism to store energy when crisis hits and it is called Lipogenesis, literally translated “New Fat”. Fat is essentially a means of Energy Storage in the body, especially needed in Times of Famine. Imbalances in Blood Sugar create a situation almost like a Time of Famine.(I.E-eating high sugar foods)
What we want to achieve is something called Lipolysis or “Fat Burning”. Since Fat can be changed into sugar again, the body keeps it for Lean Times, no pun intended. Unfortunately, it’s makes the liver work hard to convert it to sugar, and often other problems start to occur, like high cholesterol, impaired fat absorption, inability to decrease inflammation, and gallstone formation. Not to mention, long term imbalances of this nature may lead to High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and other Cardiovascular problems.
If it’s not apparent already, Balancing Blood Sugar is a big deal. Stay tuned to this blog site because I’ll explain how to correct the problem at a future date.

Soluble fiber is good in helping to lower cholesterol whilst insoluble will add bulk to your diet.
