Is there an easy way to reduce weight?

There’s a prevalent myth surrounding obese and overweight people.  Society generally tends to look down on them as examples of the consequences of gluttony, sloth, or both.  We figure that if a person is overweight or obese, they’re either too lazy to exercise in order to lose weight, or that they lack the self control not to overeat.  These value judgments are ill-founded, not just on moral principles but also on scientific ones.  The “rules” for losing fat to which we’ve all become accustomed are completely wrong. Gaining and losing fat are only peripherally related to how much we eat and exercise.

Surprised?  You’re not alone.  If asked, 99% of society would say that the quickest way to lose weight is to begin an exercise regimen and cut your calorie intake.  Those assertions are progeny of a fundamental misunderstanding of how to reduce weight and excess fat.

According to ample research, both modern and some dating over 150 years old, the body stores fat in fat cells only in the presence of insulin.  Without excess insulin in the bloodstream, fatty acids move freely between the fat cells and the bloodstream.  Muscles and organs use these fatty acids to convert to adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is the fundamental energy source for life.  When the pancreas secretes insulin, muscles and organs are instructed instead to ignore fatty acids, and utilize blood sugar as an energy source.  Fatty acids are then converted inside the fat cells into triglycerides, which become the belly and butt fat that we’re used to seeing.

How do you keep your blood insulin levels under control?  Is there a magic pill that you have to ask your doctor to prescribe?  Absolutely not.  In order to regulate your insulin levels, resulting in fast but completely safe and natural weight loss, all you have to do is stop eating starch and sugar.  It’s that easy.
