3 tips to help you shed that extra weight – Good4Utah

Is your blood sugar blocking your efforts to shed pounds and causing health problems? Total Health and Fitness explains how your blood sugar and body weight are connected. And extra weight puts us at risk for other health problems that involve blood sugar.

Every time we eat, our pancreas produces insulin. This hormone helps our bodies harness the energy provided by food by "unlocking" your cells, helping to move sugar (aka glucose) inside each one, where it's used for fuel. The cycle starts when you gain weight so if you have excess weight you may find you are fighting an endless cycle of trying to lose weight only to find the scale doesnt budge or the weight quickly comes back on.

Once you have blood sugar problems, it's much harder to do the one thing that can really help: slim down. The good news: losing weight is not impossible if you understand the correlation between blood sugar, belly fat and insulinand how to make the necessary changes you want to see both in your physical appearance and your overall health statistics.

The problem starts with insulin resistance, in which our cells no longer respond to the hormone. Weight gain can bring it on, especially if we add visceral fat (the kind around our abdominal organs) because it churns out inflammatory chemicals that harm cells' response to insulin. This starts an endless cycle of adding more and more weight with starting and stopping diets that are not balanced for our lifestyles.
