Weight Management

There is no doubt that obesity is the leading cause of disease and that western countries are entering into a crisis period. Driven by our high carbohydrate diets, we are seeing massive increases in insulin resistance, blood sugar problems and diabetes. Insulin resistance, which can be an independent risk factor of raised glucose, is believed to be responsible for all sorts of health problems including Alzheimer’s disease, hormone related cancers, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and a whole raft of autoimmune diseases.

Such is the spread of carbohydrate related disorders, that we now have a new classification, Type 3 Diabetes.

Type 3 Diabetes is the term now used to describe the degenerative effects of insulin resistance to the brain i.e. Alzheimer’s disease.

It is unfortunate that many weight programs are based on unproven and out of date dietary methods, which can make your health problems worse. For example, low fat diets increase carbohydrates (and insulin resistance), which as you now know, will increase your health risks substantially. And did you know that it is carbohydrates that are increasing bad LDL cholesterols not saturated fats – that’s right, carbohydrates contain stearic and palmatic acid which both increase LDL cholesterol.

So whilst some people may be tackling their excess weight for vanity purposes, really we need to be doing something about excess weight for health reasons. But no matter what your reason, you need a lifelong eating program that removes the burden that insulin resistance and carbohydrate rich foods place upon your body. You need a plan that gets your body working at peak performance.
