Are you working with a Washington DC weight loss pro? Weight loss may be your goal, but if you do not know how your body works, chances are good you will miss the key steps to losing weight. This is one of them. What is the master key behind body fat? You may have no idea why you have no energy or feel worn out even though you seem to be eating healthily. The trigger is insulin. This hormone is produced naturally in your body. Those who are gaining extra body fat and have less energy are facing the same problem: insulin resistance.
What Is Insulin?
Insulin helps to convert sugars into energy. Insulin released by the body helps in maintaining blood sugar levels which is vital for overall health of an individual. In an insulin resistant person, the body is not capable of maintaining blood sugar which might lead to several health related issues, risk of stroke being one of them.
What causes body fat?
Body fat and insulin are connected; your Washington DC weight loss expert can help you figure out the connection between these two things. Take a look at what happens within our body on an average day.
* You wake up and start your day with a healthy breakfast of lean bacon, eggs and spinach.
* After the energy released from this food is all used up, your body starts utilizing stored fat in your body to meet its energy needs. This is what’s supposed to happen so that you can get rid of excess weight.
* Sandwich in on the menu for lunch. The main ingredient in your sandwich – the bread, releases carbohydrates in to your blood stream. The body then makes use of this for producing energy.
* Our body’s response to this is to produce insulin. The fat which was supposed to be used by your body as energy gets sent back and your body gets it energy from the carbohydrates in your blood instead. This is done in order to avoid a sudden rise in your blood sugar level.
Your Washington DC weight loss trainer can explain to you the problem here. Your body does not react correctly, if your lean tissue is insulin resistant. If that is the case, it will not handle the carbohydrates which results in increase in the level of blood sugar.
Another way to look at this is to consider what it does to those lean cells. They are being starved, in effect, because of the carbohydrates in your blood. As a result, your lean tissues have nothing to burn (remember that the fat has been pushed back to your cells and is therefore unavailable.) This causes the drop in your energy. It leaves you hungry and tired. The process continues.
What your Washington DC weight loss pro is likely to tell you is to reduce the amount of carbs you eat to avoid this blood sugar problem.
