Sumo Wrestlers weight gain

Eating a diet rich in starchy foods that put you in to a metabolic state called insulin resistance that makes you gain a lot of weight quickly! Although this type of weight gain is considered unhealthy, and is not recommended, some body builders reportedly use insulin as a way to make them gain weight. In fact, this is the secret of the rapid weight gain seen Sumo wrestlers as their diet is rich in starchy foods that leads to insulin resistance and weight gain.

Secret of weight gain in animals

This also is the reason for their weight gain in their tummies! In fact, they feed animal such as cattle, chicken, turkey etc. corn, a source of food high in glycemic index known to cause insulin resistance which in turn leads to rapid weight gain. They do it with so much precision that they can double the weight of a cow in most American farms in about 6 months on a diet rich in corn, albeit this is very unhealthy weight for both the animals and those that consume this type of meat raised on animals fed on corn. Unfortunately, most animal products sold in the world currently, unless they are labelled as pastured or organic, tend to be raised this way.

Why the food pyramid failed?

Misunderstanding the role of insulin and failing to differentiate between simple and complex carbohydrates, over emphasis on low fat has contributed to a phenomenal raise in insulin levels thereby leading a lot of weight gain in populations both in the United States and elsewhere due to insulin resistance. According to Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD, founder of W8MD medical weight loss centers of America, the failed food pyramid caused enormous damage to our health as this major blunder has contributed to the general publics mis-perceptions about diet! Since the start of the food pyramid, the incidence of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity have gone up significantly. In fact, up to a third of the population currently have full blown metabolic syndrome that explains their weight gain in their tummies!
