One of the most effective ways tools weight is by controlling the levels of the hormone insulin in your tissue and blood. Insulin is secreted when the sugar level in the blood and tissues is higher than needed for immediate energy use. The usual reason this occurs is that you are eating more carbohydrates in your diet than you need for your activity level. If you’re eating like a professional athlete, but exerting the activity of an office worker, this creates an insulin issue.
OPTION #1
I try not to make generalized dietary recommendations, but I’ve found that for most of my clients, lowering their carbohydrate intake to 75 or fewer grams per day has resulted in a gradual weight loss until they achieve their ideal weight. Once again, this is not a one-size-fits-all strategy.
OPTION #2
For those who are unsuccessful with that strategy, there are other options to regulate insulin and carbohydrates. The next option is to decrease the carbohydrate level to about 40 grams per day for two weeks every 2-3 months. This is a tough method to follow, and is similar to the now popularized “ketogenic diet”.
OPTION #3
Another option is to keep your carb intake the same, but significantly increase the intensity and frequency of your exercise program, specifically resistance training. Keep in mind, this weight loss method is a bit slower than options #1 and #2.
OPTION #4
Another option is to supplement with the fat-burning enzyme known as lipase. Taking a high potency enzyme supplement between meals three times per day as far away from food as possible will often help mobilize the fat stores. There are many brands of these enzymes commercially available.
OPTION #5
If none of these options work, a cleansing program might help clear out the liver and jump start the weight loss. I would then start with option #1. Standard Process makes a very good purification program which can be used every six months to initiate the weight loss. It can be obtained through many health care providers.
