Are you troubled by the unwanted body fat you see when you look at yourself in the mirror? The information in this article can set you on the road to achieving permanent weight loss. You probably do not know this information.
It is scientific fact that when you eat, your body breaks the food down into something called blood sugar. When your body detects the blood sugar, it produces something called insulin. It produces an amount of insulin that is commensurate with the amount of blood sugar in your body. The more blood sugar in your body, the higher the level of insulin in your body.
High levels of insulin in your body affects your weight in 2 ways. It causes your body to store fat and it prevents your body from burning previously stored fat.
Here is what happens in your body, when there is a large amount of insulin in your blood. Your body absorbs the amount of blood sugar it needs, in order to do the things you want it to do. The excessive insulin causes any remaining blood sugar to be stored as fat.
Here is how excessive insulin prevents fat burning. Your body first uses up the blood sugar for the energy it needs. When there is no more blood sugar available, it looks to previously stored fat for the energy it needs. It is prevented from using the fat, when excessive insulin is present.
The cornerstone of weight management and achieving lasting weight loss is the regulation of your blood sugar level.
What Causes High Blood Sugar Levels ?
The level of your blood sugar is governed by 4 things: the quantity of food you eat in a meal, whether you eat 2 carbohydrates in the same meal, how much simple sugars you eat in a meal, and whether you skip a meal or there is a long time between meals.
Your blood sugar level will be high, whenever any one of the these 4 factors occurs. When any of these factors happen, your body will produce a large amount of insulin. The regulation of your blood sugar level, plays a key role in your management of your weight.
However, if you are serious about wanting to lose your unwanted body fat, and keep it off, there is an even more important element of weight management for you to learn about and put into practice.
