Remember that insulin also stimulates fat storage. So the higher the insulin goes, the more fat gets stored. This is precisely how Type 2 diabetes develops. This is also the mechanism underlying the modern-day medical epidemic, “Metabolic Syndrome,” also known as Syndrome X. Characterized by high blood pressure, obesity, dia- betes, and high cholesterol, insulin resistance is the unifying cause. In order to heal the body, to lose the weight and keep it off, you need to heal the insulin resistance. This can only be done by resting the pancreas, by reducing insulin production to the absolute lowest level possible. And this is done by reducing CHO intake to the low- est levels possible. The amazing part of all this is that, not only will you lose the
weight, but you will also dramatically reduce, if not outright get rid of, the high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. I know—we’ve seen it happen regularly, patients getting completely off of their medications!
Other conditions are also related to insulin resistance. Polycystic
Ovary Syndrome, gout, arthritis, and even cancer all can be linked to high insulin levels and insulin resistance. My point is this—many diets will help you lose weight. But very few will actually heal the body, address the root causes of weight gain and disease, and help keep the weight off.
Once You’ve Lost The Weight
By following the principles outlined above strictly, you can realistically expect to lose up to 3 lbs a week for women and 4-7 lbs a week for men. Once you’ve reached your weight loss goal, it is imperative to transition gradually to the next phase. Keep in mind that up to now
