Weight loss online

Here are 8 steps to losing weight online or offline.

Weight loss step 1

The most important part of trying to lose weight is to first figure out what may be causing your weight gain to begin with.

One of the most important causes of weight gain is insulin resistance that affects up to 71 percent of the population which can eventually lead to metabolic syndrome (35% of the population in USA or [[type 2 diabetes (8% of the population)

Weight loss step 2

Understand and check your Body mass index or BMI so you know where you are starting.

Weight loss step 3

Stop blaming the victim for obesity or yourself as it helps none and unless you or the person gaining weight are intentionally trying to gain weight, more than likely, it may be other reasons to be for the weight gain, most importantly, the metabolic starvation that happens paradoxically in the obese due to insulin resistance.

Rethinking Our Dietary Approach Shifting focus from individual blame to understanding the complexities of obesity is crucial. A key factor is insulin resistance, impacting up to 71% of the population, with 35% experiencing metabolic syndrome. Navigating Misinformation The overwhelming presence of over 20,000 books and mixed messages on obesity medicine calls for guidance from experts like Dr Prab R. Tumpati, MD, who can provide clarity on the science and practice of this field. The Downfall of the Food Guide Pyramid The outdated and ineffective food guide pyramid, promoting a low-fat but high-glycemic diet, significantly contributed to increased insulin resistance and, consequently, weight gain. Insulin resistance and weight gain Insulin resistance is a physiological condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin. As insulin not only controls the blood sugar, it also controls the weight! Reducing the overall carbohydrate load and insulin levels is a key underlying concept in many low carbohydrate diets such as the ketogenic diet.

The Blame Game in Obesity Understanding metabolic starvation Weight gain isn't typically intentional. It often stems from the paradox of metabolic starvation in the obese, driven by insulin resistance and resulting in heightened insulin levels. This leads to persistent hunger, cravings, and further weight gain. Stop blaming the victim for obesity!
