I have bought a book called "Beyond GI - Understanding Glycaemic load" by Dr Fedon Alexander Lindberg. This book is very good because it explains the importance of having the right sort of diet.
Did you know that you can become insuline resistant? Do you know what that means? Who can have it?
When you eat, your blood sugar is rising. Your body start to produce insulin to take care of the glucose, but your liver and mucles can only store a certain amount. The reminder will be stored as fat.
Hyper insulinemia is increased production of insulin which can lead on to reduced insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance). That means that your insulin level remains high all the time, whether you have eaten or not. However, it is only the posibility to lower the blood sugar that is not working anymore, the insulin still stores fat. That makes it quite impossible to loose weight!
If you are overweight you are most certainly insulin resistant. About 10% of the population in the developed world have insulin resistance, even though they are normal weight and have no other health problems. If your body are normal but you belly are bulging, you probably have insulin resistance.
An improvement of our eating- and exercise habits can of course make it better!
