Wellness Coaching ? Allowing Your Body to Manage its own Weight ...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2011, about 1/3rd of U.S. adults (33.85) are obese and approximately 17% (12.5 million) children and adolescents between 2 and 19 years are also obese. The obesity is determined by your BMI (body mass index). Reflecting the dramatic rise in sugar-consumption (up to 1/3 of pound per day per person), the obesity rate in the U.S. has also risen to epidemic proportions in the last forty years.

During the same period of this ever-increasing obesity trend in the U.S., we have simultaneously observed the rates of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, ADHD, candida, and Alzheimer?s all skyrocket to epidemic proportions. I don?t believe that this is merely a coincidence.

The hormone insulin is released by the body whenever you consume sugar, starch, and complex carbohydrates. The higher the sugar content, the more insulin (and leptin) the body produces in order to regulate and metabolize the (unnatural) blood sugar surges. Over time, the body begins to resist these hormonal releases. Elevated insulin levels are associated with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, cancer, and obesity. The elevated blood sugar is not the cause of these diseases ? but rather the result of the excess insulin levels brought on by a diet that is based sugar and starch.

It?s very important to remember that it takes fat to burn fat and fat alone does not make you fat. In fact, if you easily gain weight, it?s not because you?re eating too much or not exercising enough. It?s because your body cannot efficiently burn the fat! And that?s not the way your body was designed. So, then, why are the large majority of American?s overweight or obese? Simple. Because their diet is based on elevating insulin. Your body cannot burn fat when insulin is present. Period.

When your diet is ketone-based, however, the body will naturally manage its own ideal weight, on its own. By eliminating sugar and all starchy foods, you won?t have to worry about insulin or leptin resistance. This allows the body to burn fat much more efficiently. As a result, you won?t need to go on starvation diets or enslave yourself to countless hours on the stairmaster just to maintain your ideal body weight.

They key is not to ?increase? your metabolism. They key is to make your body?s metabolism more efficient at converting calories into energy. And you can only do this by shifting from a carbohydrate-dependent diet to a paleo diet that fuels the body from ketones.
