Hypnerinsulinemia - How Sugar, Carbohydrates and Starches Can Make You Fat and Unhealthy

When you consume foods containing refined sugar, caffeine or alcohol, your blood sugar takes a sharp rise, which triggers the pancreas to release insulin in order to bring your sugar level back into balance. Insulin is secreted upon eating any food, yet these particular foods cause an
inordinately high amount of insulin to be released. Shortly thereafter, your blood sugar level drops below normal and your energy drops dramatically. The body, in its effort to return to a healthy balance, may misinterpret this energy low as hunger-often ravenous hunger, often causing you to eat out of control to bring back your energy.

The easiest way to control this response is to not trigger it in the first place. Avoiding these foods is one way to make it quite easy for you to accomplish this. Many of the foods, which trigger your insulin reaction, are also considered addictive foods, those foods over which you have no control.

Many overweight people suffer from a condition called "hyperinsulinemia". For them the traditional wisdom about losing weight and dieting will cause physical reactions that actually prevent weight loss.

Some indicators for hyperinsulinemia are:

1. When you eat starchy carbohydrates such as potatoes, rice or pasta, do you find it difficult to stop?

2. When you eat sweets or sugar do you find it difficult to stop or feel sleepy about 30-45 minutes later?

3. Do you find that within 24 hours of overeating sweets you get depressed, lethargic or have mood swings?

4. Do or did one or more of your parents or grandparents have heart disease, adult on-set diabetes, a stroke or high blood pressure.

5. Do you have high blood pressure, adult on-set diabetes, heart disease, or cancer of the ovaries, breast or uterus?

6. Do you smoke?

7. Do you drink to excess?

8. Is your life stressful (in your own definition)?

9. Are you physically inactive (in your own definition)?

If you answered "yes" to several of these questions, you may be at risk for hyperinsulinemia. If you think you may have this condition, try the following to see if some or all of them help alleviate your symptoms:

1.. Eat a bite of protein every time you eat.
2.. Eliminate sugars and simple carbohydrates from your diet
3.. Walk 20 minutes a day.
4.. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Within 24 hours you should notice a dramatic increase in your energy and decrease in your appetite.
