If you are frustrated by endless dieting, and want lose weight and keep it off, you will have to understand and apply some basic facts about fat burning nutrition to the way in which you eat.

For you to achieve fat loss that is permanent, you must manage your blood sugar level.  To do this, you need to understand what happens in your body when you eat.  Then you must change the way in which you eat.

What Happens When You Eat

When you eat, the food is broken down into glucose.  Glucose is also called blood sugar.  It is the main source of energy for your body.  Your blood carries the glucose to the cells of your body.

When glucose enters your blood stream, your body immediately generates insulin.  Insulin "opens the door"  of the cells of your body so that it can receive glucose .  

Without insulin, your muscle cells would not be able to receive the glucose.  If the cells of your body did not receive glucose, they would not have the energy they need to respond to the demands you make of your body.

The Crux Of Permanent Weight Loss

Managing the amount of insulin that is produced by your body, is the centerpiece of fat burning nutrition. This determines if you add fat to your body or lose fat.

What, when  and how you eat determines how much glucose your body manufactures, which in turn determines how much insulin your body releases. Your muscle cells take the amount of glucose they need to provide you with energy. The excess glucose, not needed by the cells of your body, is stored as fat. This results in flab.

Excess insulin  also prevents the burning of fat.

Obesity is the end result for people who do not control the release of insulin by their bodies, following a meal.

What Determines Your Blood Sugar Levels?

What causes blood sugar levels to rise, triggering an increase of insulin levels?

   1. not eating for a long   time between meals or missing meals
   2. eating food containing a lot of sugar
   3. overeating during a meal
   4. eating two starchy carbohydrates in the same meal
