Why can't I have dessert if I just take extra insulin?

The answer is not simple.  It has to do with the chemicals in your body that break down food into energy.  

Let’s pretend that you are a molecule of sugar.  When sugar enters the blood stream it is met by insulin.  Insulin introduces the sugar to receptors on your cells.  The insulin gets you in to the party. 

The receptors are the bouncers at the party.  If you eat a lot of sugar and take a lot of insulin then the bouncers have to form a line so that the party won’t become a fire hazard …so to speak.  This is called insulin resistance.

The bouncers then learn to form a line at a lower fire hazard level.  Meaning less sugar gets into the cell even if there’s room.  They have learned that you are going to bombard them with sugar and insulin at any moment. And they have to make sure that the party won’t get too full.

So when you have a bunch of sugar in line outside the party they get rowdy.  The insulin has to take you somewhere so you end up in jail/storage.  That jail is your fat cells which is where sugar is converted into a more long term storage molecule for energy.

As we all know jail has more than just the rowdy partier as a guest.  Fat stores heavy metals, solvents, and hormones.  The more partiers you have to store away the more jail space has to be built.  So rather than flushing away toxins though your sweat, urine and feces your body has a convenient place to keep them all.

Stable blood sugar and insulin levels leave your bouncers relaxed. When the receptors don’t have to worry about sudden spikes of sugar wanting to get into their party,  your body can process energy normally without increasing fat mass.

We can help you do it naturally.
