Are you trying it all but not losing at all? If this sounds familiar, read on as Truestar explains some potential reasons why your efforts to battle the bulge may be unsuccessful.

Blood sugar imbalance: Although they are the foods we love the most—cookies, cakes, white pasta, bread and alcohol—they will pack on the pounds like nothing else. These foods are called simple, refined carbohydrates and they cause rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. When we eat simple carbohydrates (also called high glycemic index foods), such as products made from white sugar and white flour, the carbohydrates enter the bloodstream quickly causing blood sugar levels to spike. A large amount of the hormone insulin is then secreted to rapidly lower blood sugar levels. Excess insulin gets stored as fat. Alternatively, complex carbohydrates (called low glycemic index foods), such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, are broken down slowly by the body causing fewer rises in blood sugar levels, less insulin secretion and ultimately, less fat storage. Aim to get about 30% of calories from complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, to keep your insulin levels low and avoid weight gain. See the Truestar Weight Loss Program for more information.

Fat-free is not a license to overeat! For the past 30 years, we have been told to cut the fat to lose weight. People filled their shopping carts with lowfat or fat-free foods and ate to their stomachs’ content. But as many gained weight instead of losing it, people began to wonder what went wrong. Firstly, lowfat products are made by replacing the fat with sugar, making them low in fat, but high in calories. Secondly, many lowfat foods are filled with refined carbohydrates, which cause the body to oversecrete insulin and promote the storage of fat. Your best bet is to choose foods that are naturally low in fat and calories, such as fruits and vegetables, and to include a balance of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins and healthy fats at each meal. See Eat Fat to Lose Fat for more information.
