High Insulin And It's Effects On Body Fat

When you eat foods that cause a rapid spike in blood sugar, an excess amount of "food energy" is created. Because of this, your body must now make new fat cells in order to have somewhere to put this excess energy. The facilitator for the creation of these new cells is insulin. This excess energy triggers an increase in insulin which begins the "fat storage cycle". With the creation of these new fat cells, cholesterol is also created since it is the framework for all cells.

After a period of time, when your body is continually in the state of having to deal with excess insulin, it no longer knows how to burn body fat properly and now requires high blood sugar for fuel. Eventually your insulin sensors will become more and more overloaded and slow and your body will begin to build a resistance to insulin. When this happens a persons body will start storing more and more of any excess sugars as body fat instead of burning it for fuel. When the body is in this insulin resistant state, it is very difficult to lose weight or maintain a consistent body weight.

What most people don't realize is that eating healthy, natural dietary fat does not create body fat unless it is eaten with an excess of blood sugar raising carbohydrates. In other words, without insulin spiking carbohydrates, your body uses dietary fat and body fat for fuel rather than storing it. Eating foods that are used for energy to fuel your body is the key to maintaining a healthy body weight with a low percentage of body fat. Foods that enter the bloodstream slowly and don't rapidly raise blood sugar levels won't cause excess insulin production and therefore won't contribute significantly toward fat storage. Remember, refined carbohydrates and sugars create too much insulin which triggers the "fat storage cycle".

Sticking with foods that are natural and unprocessed will keep your blood sugar levels normal and provide you with all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients necessary to keep you healthy, fit and energized.

As Always,

Stay Motivated, Stay Fit
