Reducing the dependancy on insulin injections
If you consider the modern human population and the percentage of people with metabolic syndrome it might seem that we have not found a solution to deal with the issue of losing weight. However, to lose weight you need to understand and utilize the body’s mechanisms of energy storage and expenditure, to get rid of the unwelcome pounds. Our bodies are designed to build fat reserves in times of plenty food supply and burn fat when food is scarce. Your metabolism is an expert in regulating energy by meticulously controlling its absorption, burning and storing. The main form or energy utilized from our diet is sugar followed by fat and then protein.
By just activating the fat burning mechanisms, and keeping them on, your fat will disappear sooner that your think.
Understanding your metabolism
The main problem with the modern lifestyle with regard to health, is that sugary food is too easily available and we overload our bodies with too much sugar to deal with and then our mechanism of regulating sugar gets broken.
The releasing of energy from sugar causes byproducts to form that is damaging to the surrounding cells. It is important to realize that sugar is a dangerous compound and needs to be kept at a low concentration in the blood. Excess sugar is detrimental to various tissues and needs to be prevented. It Glycates proteins which accelerates aging, it damages LDL which increase the risk of heart attack, and it feeds cancers just to name a few. The body has a very efficient mechanism to deal with excess sugar and that is by releasing insulin. Insulin is like the fire fighters that are called out to put out the fire. They way insulin deals with the excess sugar is by sending it to the fat, which is great, because it gives us the great advantage of storing energy for when we need it again. This is insulin’s job and we are very thankful for it. However, a BIG problem arises when there is too much fat in the fat cells and the body does not have the opportunity to burn the fat before more sugar needs to be stored. With too much fat for the fat cells too handle, the vicious domino effect is initiated to the detriment of other tissues, which regulates nutrient absorption, your immune system, energy expenditure etc. If this happens your body needs to put on the breaks, minimize sugar intake and restore a healthy energy equilibrium before the system crashes. When too much insulin is produced over a long period of time our bodies become insulin resistant and we get metabolic disease/syndrome which impedes our metabolism’s ability to protect us.
Take care of your metabolism and it will take care of you.
Satiety/Hunger
We have two organs that regulate our hunger and our food intake. The stomach shouts at the brain that it is HUNGRY with the hormone Ghelin and the fat cells shouts at the brain when they are full with the hormone Leptin. With too much shouting from our fat cells we become Leptin resistant and we loose the ability to adequitly regulate our food intake. Adiponectin production decreases which is important in lipid metabolism.
Recondition your metabolism
When our metabolism is broken it needs to be reconditioned. This is done by reversing the process that caused it to become broken. We have various tools we can implement to assist in this process. First we need to break the addiction to sugar and eating. Addictions are not easily broken and you cannot just tell someone to stop smoking, taking drugs, watching social media, it won’t work. it requires a strong will, commitment and additional factors to make it easier.
- Make losing weight fun and not a punishment. Find someone that can take up the challenge of loosing weight with you. Set small achievable goals and reword yourself if you achieve them.
- Cut empty carbs to the minimum.
- Harnessing the power of healthy fasting.
- Boost the gut to allow for proper absorption of healthy nutrient. It has been proven that people with metabolic syndrome are the most nutrient starved people.
- Extend satiety to reduce snacking.
- Take supplements that accelerate fat burning
- Start exercising
Fasting
Use intermittent fasting in your favor. The target duration is around 16 hours without food. This is not a set in stone duration and varying the time from day to day contributes to metabolic reconditioning.
It is important to not go into starvation mode, because your body will take anything you eat and store the energy absorbed in the fat cells to build up reserved for the “starvation times”.
