Insulin Levels, and Helps You Lose Weight

Why you crave carbs

If you crave carbs, chances are you're either overweight or you don't eat enough protein. This is actually a physiological craving caused by the way your body chemistry overreacts to eating sweets and carbohydrates. And if excess glucose remains in circulation, high insulin levels will stimulate lipogenesis (fat production and storage). To compound the problem, there is evidence that high insulin levels trigger the hypothalamus (the master gland) to send out hunger signals.1 Insulin regulates carbohydrate metabolism by controlling blood sugar (glucose) levels. During a meal, the insulin level is a determining factor in signaling the brain that your body is "full." Stress and poor eating habits are also factors but the most detrimental one is the "over consumption of carbohydrates", leading to insulin imbalance. Once the imbalance becomes constant, low insulin levels will elevate glucose and cause you to eat more, and consequently gain weight. It becomes a vicious cycle, because overweight people burn sugar less efficiently than those with normal weight do. And ultimately, the more carbs you eat the hungrier you may become.2 Even if you eat as few as 800 calories a day, if you are sugar sensitive and those calories are from carbohydrates, you may find that you still gain weight.3
