Ignore all the marketing hype. There is only one thing you should direct all energies toward: insulin. After all, insulin dictates how much weight you will be able to shed.
Thus, no matter what you do, if your insulin is high you will NOT be able to lose fat.
Thus, here is how to lower insulin for better weight loss:
1. Avoid high GI carbohydrates. All carbohydrates are eventually broken down to sugar once digested. And sugar has the biggest impact on insulin bar none. Thus, eliminating high GI carbohydrates from your diet will be a powerful stimulus for lowering insulin.
2. Lower levels of body fat. Ironically, reducing levels of body fat is one of the most powerful ways to lower levels of circulating insulin. When you lose body fat, your insulin sensitivity goes up. This means that you need a smaller amount of insulin to get the same job done.
3. Say goodbye to the dopamine rush. Carbohydrates and their broken down form, sugar, increase levels of dopamine in your brain (a feel good hormone). Once you drop the sugar, you will miss this rush more than anything else. The best strategy here is to distract yourself by doing involved activities.
4. Do not accept whole grains as the holy grail. Unfortunately, too many fitness professionals recommend whole grains as a healthy carbohydrate choice. We have not evolved to eat whole grains. Even though they have fiber, they are still not low GI carbs. Proceed with moderation here.
5. Ditch the martini. I bet you have heard about the effects of alcohol ad nauseum. Well, get ready to hear them again. You see, alcohol has a TON of calories and it promotes the storage of fat around your stomach. So please stay away, far away from the spirits.
If you can control insulin, you can lose as much body fat as you want. Period. I believe the biggest hurdle most people face is dealing with the dopamine withdrawal that is accompanied by the absence of sugar. So follow the tips in this article so that you can be one step closer to reaching your goals.
