Insulin is the hormone that is supposed to deliver sugar to your cells.  It has to work efficiently or the whole energy system, including burning fat, starts to lose effectiveness.  When you eat too many carbohydrates, your cells can become desensitized to insulin.  The insulin is talking, but your cells can’t hear.  When this happens regularly, you will be likely to gain weight.

To Lose Weight Faster Avoid These:

· Grains of any kind, even whole grains, anything made with flour, fruit juice, soda, dried fruit, and, of course, sugar, are too concentrated in carbohydrate.

· Fat can also be tricky.  Saturated fats, all vegetable oils, trans-fat, plus beef fat and dairy fat all can block insulin function.

· It’s not that you can’t ever have these foods. Just consider them like the treat foods they are.  Make the less concentrated healthy foods the overwhelming staples in your diet.

What to Eat to Improve Insulin Function:

· Eat protein and Omega-9 oils with every single meal.  This makes you feel full and lets the carbohydrates you eat trickle slowly into your blood stream so you have energy for hours.

· Eat breakfast.  Not doing so is as dangerous as smoking.  Getting a high protein breakfast will prime your metabolism for weight loss throughout the day.

· Omega-9 oils like olive oil promote weight loss and don’t interfere with insulin function.  Other good fat sources: avocados, macadamia oil, almonds, cashews, pistachios, and pecans.

· Research shows that the more you can get your carbohydrates from vegetables and fruits, the thinner you are likely to be and the better you are likely to feel. 

What You Can Take:

· Fish oils promote the loss of body fat, particularly along the waistline, increasing metabolism and significantly reduce appetite.

· Lipoic Acid improves insulin sensitivity while reducing appetite.

· Relora reduces the stress hormone cortisol, which can interfere with insulin effectiveness.  This reduction promotes fewer food cravings, and reduced waistline fat.
