Insulin Sensitivity and Fat Loss

With all the confusion out there about diets and what systems works best for fat loss,your left wondering what really works.There is however,no confusion that a large percentage of the UK population is insulin resistant.This means that they do not handle high carbohydrate foods well,have fluctuating blood sugar levels and have far too much body fat.

Are you someone that feels great and full of energy after eating a high carbohydrate meal or do you get an energy crash that leaves you feeling tired and bloated half an hour after eating.If you are the latter,you probably produce too much insulin which is causing your blood sugar to crash leaving your feeling tired and hungry.

 

If you're new to fat loss you may have never heard of the terms insulin sensitivity or insulin resistance.If you have heard them, you might be confused with what they really mean.They mean the ability of a certain amount of insulin (produced in the pancreas)to deliver glucose (sugar)into your muscles and other cells.If your cells are resistant to the extra glucose,it will take a lot more insulin to get the delivery job done and if they are sensitive it takes a lot less.

Being insulin sensitive is one of the key ingredients to achieving a perfect body composition and plays a large part in what we teach you in the LHP Performance System ™.If you are insulin sensitive,it has been proven that you will develop more lean muscle tissue, have more energy and you will drop a lot more body fat.Here is some information to help you understand why it is important to get yourself insulin sensitive.

After you eat a meal containing carbohydrates your body breaks them down into glucose.Glucose stimulates the release of insulin in the pancreas which transports the glucose into the cells for energy.Getting blood sugar into our cells is important but it can also cause you problems. Your body stores the glucose in your muscle cells or in the liver,however any surplus that is not required can get stored as fat.Up to 50% of the carbs you eat away from exercise can get stored as body fat.

Therefore when a person eats too many carbohydrates,insulin levels remain constantly high.One of the consequences of this is the unwanted fat gain.Another consequence of this is the production of free radicals which causes oxidative stress and accelerates the ageing process.

Now,exercise and resistance training help makes your cells more sensitive to the effects of insulin.If your muscles are more insulin sensitive than your fat cells,the nutrients you eat will get sent directly to your muscles and not to the fat cells.A bonus of this happening is that your muscles will develop and you will drop body fat.Timing of your carbohydrate intake is a delicate process and we teach this throughout the early stages of the LHP Performance System ™.

Bearing in mind all of the above,isn't it easier to understand why,leaner and more muscular developed individuals handle insulin better, look younger and have less overall body fat.

We combine our LHP Performance System™ with Biosignature modulation.Your body fat reading at your sub scapular(shoulder blade)site is an indication if you are insulin sensitive or insulin resistant. Arrange to have your body fat readings taken and track your progress.

So how do you make the change if you are insulin resistant?

The first step you need to take in helping yourself move towards being insulin sensitive is to remove starchy carbohydrates like rice,pasta, cakes and bread.These heavy starchy carbs need to be replaced with lean protein,healthy fats,fruits and fibrous vegetables like broccoli,kurly kale,spinach and cabbage.This will allow your body to use up a lot of its stored glucose and will prime your body to use fat as a primary fuel source.Starchy carbohydrates do have their place in fat loss but you must use them at the right times of the day,like around exercise.

If you are not already,you should start taking an Omega 3 Fish oil supplement.Omega 3 fish oil helps fat loss by turning on the lipolytic genes(fat burning genes)and helps turn off the lipogenic genes(fat storage genes).Fish oils increase serotonin levels,which is the happy neurotransmitter and they help with depression and anxiety.

As part of the Biosignature Modulation System we see very dramatic fat loss results when our clients combine the following supplementation program with their diet.

Fenuplex: 2 capsules 3 x a day
Insulinomics: 2 capsules 3 x a day
Ultra HCL: 2 capsules per meal (this is based on your HCL tests results)
Omega 3 Fish oil: 2 capsules 3 x a day

By making these simple steps you will be well on your way to reducing your overall body fat levels and becoming insulin sensitive.

what to do in SCAPULAR injury & backbone pain??? please inform, orthopaedics...?

My Husband is a percussionist & a service holder. He plays drums, bongo, congas & works with computer extensively. But he has Scapular Injury in his Right Wrist from the age of 15. I am giving a detailed information below.....

Age: 25 yrs
Profession: Percussionist & service
Symptoms: every time the wrist is moved, the bone makes noise...after exercises & after percussion practice sessions, it sounds & pains a lot.

Precautions as said by the Doctor:
Avoid lifting heavy things & avoid working with right hand for a long time.

But as he's a musician & service holder, he has to use his both hands.

give some advice, tips & ways to follow to heal the pain & recover from the injury permanently, or to some extent.

Moreover, he's having backbone pain due to extensive work sitting in chairs & bad bed posture. I'll change the bed & bedding, but will this only cure it???
I'll be very grateful to the orthopaedic doctors & surgeons.
Thank you.

How should things be lifted?
Dos:
Heavy objects must be held close to the body rather than away from it.
The feet must be about shoulder-width apart. A wide, solid base of support is important. Holding the feet too close together will be unstable; too far apart will make movement difficult.
Legs must be bent at the knees while lifting weights from floor level and the back must be kept straight. The stomach muscles must be pulled in. This will support the back in a good lifting position and will help prevent excessive force on the spine.
Push up with the legs. The legs are much stronger than the back muscles.
If an object is too heavy, or awkward in shape get someone to help you lift.
Don'ts:
Sudden and awkward movements while holding something heavy must be avoided.
The back should never be bent to pick something up.
Don't twist or bend. A person should face in the direction he or she is walking.
The best way to prevent backaches is to care for the back by keeping the back muscles in excellent physical condition. This requires back and abdominal exercises as a daily regiment. Sit-ups, leg raises, flattening the back and tucking the legs to the chest strengthen the muscles. These exercises should be avoided during active back pain, but the stretching exercises can be continued.
