“The success of ANY diet will be determined by the degree in which it lowers insulin production… period!”
So I decided to test this theory with my own “Excess Calorie/Low Insulin Study.” If weight loss could be achieved by “cutting calories” then weight gain should be possible by increasing calories. In this informal test I started by increasing my calorie intake from (3100 to 4100) and increasing the number of carbs and corresponding insulin needed to “cover” those carbs. (I do not make insulin making me the perfect person to accurately test this theory) To accurately measure the effects of carbs, sweet potato was measured and used to add additional carbs to the High Insulin Test Diet.
- The Overproduction of Insulin — specific foods, lifestyle choices and stress all contribute to the overproduction of insulin
- Reset Your Body Set Weight Point (BSW) — Every person has a “Body Set Weight Point” that dictates their default weight. Your weight may temporarily drop below that weight as you embark on the next great TV diet (Weight Watchers, Slim-Fast, Jenny Craig etc) but in the end your body will decrease its metabolism and increase hunger signals to bring you back up to that weight. Note: Body Set Weight is determined in the hypothalamus region of the brain and the major component in determining that weight… INSULIN.
