Your Best Bet for Healthy Weight Loss
April 23rd, 2008
There has been increasing concern about the rise in obese children and over weight teens, not to mention the expanding waist lines of Americans in general. Obesity has become a health issue, and with a plethora of unhealthy fad diets and stimulants on the market, finding a dietary supplement that will help people of all ages lose weight in a healthy, manageable way can be a challenge.
The dramatic increase in weight problems and obesity seen around the world over the past 20 years is resulting in a catastrophic rise in diabetes, especially in obese children, cardiovascular disease and many other serious health problems. Science now tells us that most all the health risks associated with increased body fat occur because most overweight people develop insulin resistance, a state in which insulin receptors no longer work efficiently. The body compensates for this by producing higher than normal amounts of insulin. In the early stages this can often cause excess weight gain, usually showing up around the middle of the body.
The weight gain associated with insulin resistance is a key part of the equation. The elevated blood sugar (from mild elevations to serious diabetes), hypoglycemic food cravings and excessive appetite all contribute to the weight gain. The additional weight in turn makes the insulin resistance worse.
Currently, as many as 40% of North American adults and an ever increasing number of children now have some degree of insulin resistance.
Research has shown that losing weight can play an important role in correcting insulin resistance, even in the advanced stages of diabetes. The challenge is however to lose weight without making the condition worse. Extreme caloric restriction with inadequate nutrition can sometimes be the very cause of insulin resistance in the first place. Ideally, the weight loss needs to be addressed in a way that the blood sugar metabolism is supported, keeping blood sugar levels steady. Fad diets, poor eating habits, high glycemic index foods and genetics each contribute to rapid rises and sharp declines in blood glucose levels, which can lead to a repetitive cycle of
* Uncontrollable, frequent hunger
* Excessive cravings, especially for carbohydrates
* Increased conversion of blood glucose into stored fat
* Tiredness, low energy and irritability
There is increasing evidence that including certain key ingredients as part of a weight loss plan may be helpful for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, especially while following a reduced calorie meal plan. The ALL ONE Weight Loss formula includes these key ingredients in one easy to take, great tasting nutritional powder. No thermogenic or bulking agents just pure nutrition.
