THE SECRET TO LONG TERM FAT LOSS

70% of adults in the US, and 62% of adults in the UK, respectively are either overweight or obese. One in two adults in the US, and one in three adults in the UK, have pre-diabetes, a condition which if left untreated is likely to lead to diabetes within 5 years.

With rates on the increase in most of the developed world, we are facing a global crisis.

And yet so many people are eating less and moving more. How can this be?

The advice that most people are being given is plain wrong. We can’t control what our bodies do with calories any more than we control the way our heart beats or pumps blood around our body.

Like most functions in the body, weight gain and loss is controlled by the right regulation of hormones.

Can we influence our hormonal expression?

Absolutely!

Food is information. And a highly processed, high sugar diet is going to trigger a different hormonal response to a a healthy whole food based diet with good fats, protein and plenty of whole food sources of fibrous carbohydrates.

A highly processed, a high sugar diet triggers insulin. And once insulin is triggered, it signals the body to store fat. So to lose fat and keep it off, we need to control insulin.
