The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is grounded in the physiology of how our bodies work. It is for this reason that the method produces proven, long-lasting results.
According to Dr. Tran Tien, "The cause of most weight issues in a modern society is insulin dysfunction. A diet grossly disproportionate in its share of saturated fats and sugars, such as in breads, cereals, muffins, cakes, pastries, pasta, pizza, rice, corn - very much like the North American diet - causes the pancreas to produce an overabundance of insulin, which stays in the system and puts the blood sugar level in a negative balance."
An overabundance of insulin in the bloodstream causes sugar cravings. In addition, insulin also regulates the storage of fat in the fat cells. With a high level of insulin, the body is signaled to store fats and avoid using them as energy. Because of these two factors, in can be concluded that too much insulin results in weight gain.
The Ideal Protein system works by regulating insulin levels, and training the body to use its fat stores as energy. This is done naturally through the consumption of foods that are low in sugars, and high in complete proteins. By restricting both simple and complex carbohydrates, the cycle of high insulin levels followed by sugar cravings will subside, and desired weight loss can be achieved. The principles are simple, but the results speak for themselves.
