You need to double your efforts to follow the insulin-control and calorie-conservation elements of the 84 Day Fat To Fit Program dietary plan.

This plan has been consistently shown to lower excess insulin levels.
If you follow our recommendations, we can guarantee you that you’ll lose excess body fat.

You’ll also dramatically decrease the likelihood that you’ll ever get type 2 diabetes.
Most important, you’ll be able to reverse the condition if you already have it.

Lower Insulin Levels to Reduce Obesity

The key for both is lowering your levels of insulin. Let’s start with obesity, since excess insulin is what makes you fat and keeps you fat.

We’ve received several testimonials from Body Change followers saying that our dietary program was the only thing that worked to help them lose body fat and maintain their weight loss. The reason our dietary plan receives continual acclaim is that it works.

Fat gains occur when insulin levels are out of control.
Insulin tells your body to store any excess calories as fat.
It also prevents the release of stored fat for energy.
Basically, excess insulin is a one-two punch that ensures excess body fat in your future.
Losing fat is a matter of regaining control of the insulin hormone.

Shed Excess Body Fat to Help Prevent Chronic Disease

Although we are pleased that people can finally safely lose weight by following our dietary recommendations, we think these cosmetic effects should not be the main reason to control body fat.

Rather, you should be trying to shed excess body fat in order to prevent chronic disease, especially diseases that have a strong insulin component.
Seeing a protruding stomach is a warning sign that you’re headed down the road to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and eventually a shortened life.

In fact, our total fat consumption is probably at the lowest level it’s been in the past fifty years.

The percentage of calories of fat in our diet is far lower than it was fifty years ago.
Yet we’ve had a massive increase in obesity.
If our actual enemy was dietary fat, we should have declared victory over obesity years ago.
Experts are finally beginning to realize that dietary fat was never the real enemy-excess insulin is.

Remember that insulin is a storage hormone, and it instructs your cells to store incoming nutrients.

If you eat more calories you release more insulin, especially from foods high in carbohydrates.
This converts any excess calories into fat that can be easily stored in your fat cells.
This is why bread, potatoes, pasta and other fat-free foods get rapidly converted to fat if they are eaten in excess.
What’s more, this excess insulin also prevents your fat cells from releasing stored fat for energy.
This causes a growing accumulation of excess body fat.

In retrospect, the USDA Food Pyramid was virtually guaranteed to increase insulin levels in Americans. In that regard, it has been an outstanding success. We now have higher insulin levels and an epidemic increase in obesity throughout the country.

Lower Insulin Levels and Restrict Calories to Lose Excess Body Fat

If you want to reduce excess body fat, you’ve got to do two things:

Lower insulin levels
Restrict caloric intake

You can do both effortlessly if you follow our dietary recommendations, because you’re balancing protein, carbohydrate and fat at every meal.

A single meal with the protein-carbohydrate ratio recommended on our dietary plan will dramatically lower insulin secretion compared with a meal containing the same number of calories but following the protein-carbohydrate ratio recommended by the government.
The less insulin you make, the faster you lose weight.

To lose excess body fat effectively, however, you will have to restrict calories. Unfortunately, the thought of restricting calories only brings to mind thoughts of constant hunger and deprivation, which you may recall from the crash diets of your past.

However, as we demonstrated earlier, once you begin to replace starchy carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and so on) in your diet with low-density fruits and vegetables, you’ll find that you'll eat a lot more food but a lot fewer carbohydrates and calories.

If you follow our dietary guidelines you won’t feel hungry; your blood sugar levels will stabilize.
Your brain will be getting adequate blood sugar, one of the things it needs to operate at peak efficiency.

Maintain Stable Blood Sugar Levels to Control Hunger

Finally, there is the old-fashioned way of controlling hunger; simply maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Blood sugar is the fuel the brain needs for optimal functioning.
As long as the brain is getting adequate levels of glucose, it has no hunger.
The best way to stabilize blood sugar levels is to ensure that your insulin levels do not rise too high (which drives down blood sugar levels) and that you have adequate levels of the hormone glucagons, which is stimulated by the protein content in a meal.
Glucagons stimulates the release of stored sugar from the liver, and this release restores blood sugar levels.
This is why at each meal some low-fat protein is important for controlling blood sugar.

Don't Eat More, Just More Often

Our dietary program orchestrates the dynamic balance between insulin and glucagons by giving you the optimal protein-to-carbohydrate ratio at every meal.

Eating too many carbohydrates increases your insulin too much.
Following a high-protein diet increases your glucagons levels too much, leading to a state of ketosis, a natural process that occurs when fats are converted into energy by the body -- usually when there is not enough glucose (carbohydrates) to provide for the body's energy needs.

Either way, you’re in trouble. That’s why you need to aim for balance. This is the only way to achieve optimal hormonal control of blood sugar and control your appetite on a permanent basis.

One warning: A Body Change meal will sustain your blood sugar levels for a maximum of four hours.

After that, you will get hungry as your blood sugar levels fall.
This is why we always recommend that you eat a balanced meal or snack every four hours, for a total of 5 or 6 small meals a day.
This will maintain your blood sugar levels and control your appetite.
Once this is achieved, you’ll naturally eat fewer calories without feeling deprived.
