Losing weight may be your motive, and working with a weight loss expert in Washington DC is a step in the right direction. But you may miss the key steps to losing weight if you do not have an idea of how the body works. What is the main reason behind body fat? In spite of eating hearty meals, the common complaint most of have is that we are tired and lack energy. What could the reason be? The answer is Insulin. Our body naturally produces this hormone and all those who put on excess body fat and have low energy levels are insulin resistant.
What Is Insulin?
Insulin is required by our body for transforming sugars into energy. Insulin is released by the body with a view to control the blood sugar levels necessary for maintaining overall body health. In all people who suffer from insulin resistance, the body is incapable of controlling blood sugar levels and this can result in several health problems including stroke.
The Body Fat Trigger?
A Washington, DC weight loss professional can help you to understand the correlation between these two things: body fat and insulin. Here is an example of what could happen within your body on any given day.
* You start your day by having a healthy breakfast that includes lean bacon, eggs and spinach.
* The energy released from this food is first spent by the body. Later it gets it’s energy from the stored fats in our body. This is really good and is ideal for losing body weight.
* You eat a sandwich for lunch. Carbohydrates from the bread are released into your blood. These are taken of by your body for producing energy.
* The body reacts by producing insulin. That insulin turns the fat you were pulling out of your cells to burn off back to those cells. It forces your body to use the carbohydrates in your blood system for fuel instead, since it does not want your blood sugar level to rise too high.
The problem with this situation is something your Washington, DC weight loss trainer is likely to tell you. If you have any level of insulin resistance in your lean tissue, it does not respond properly to the insulin. This means that it cannot take care of the carbohydrates properly which means your blood sugar will remain high.
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.
