In a nutshell, if you are overweight or have a few extra pounds and you are having trouble losing weight, it means that your body is producing far too much insulin after each meal you eat. Insulin is a type of hormone that is secreted by the pancreas gland every single time you eat something to control your blood sugar level.

You can think of this hormone like a drug that have an incredible power to make you look lean, sexy and attractive, or flabby and overweight, because it really does possess that power. But you are going to need to know how to control it. There are currently lots of different drugs doctors are able to prescribe to you for weight loss, and other, far less powerful ones that weight loss clinics can give you or that you can purchase directly over the internet or counter from health food stores.

However, the good news is that you don't need to waste your money on these pills because right now inside your own body you have something far more powerful than any of these weight loss drugs that are also known to have some nasty side-effects and they are "Hormones". If you can learn to properly control them, they are far more powerful than you could ever imagine.

Basically, if you want to force your body to burn as much fat as fast as possible you will have to make sure that your body releases the least amount of insulin after each meal. Insulin is commonly known as the "Fat Storing Hormone" because simply stated, the more insulin that enters your bloodstream after each meal, the more fatty tissue will be stored on your body as a result of that same meal. Generally, the larger the meal or the larger the quantity of simple sugars consumed, the larger the amount of insulin will be released.

This is one of the reasons why it is considered a good idea by weight loss experts and nutritionists to eat smaller, but more frequent meals so that your insulin levels don't spike throughout the day leaving you energetic one moment, then depressed the next. If you can get your hands on whole grain or whole meal versions of breads and pastas, they are a much healthier choice.

Alternatively, it also means that if you can keep your insulin levels low after eating, you will end up burning more fat tissue. Sugary and starchy foods such as lollies, chocolate, potatoes, white breads, pasta and rice are some of the worst culprits when it comes to rapidly raising the amount of sugars in the blood which then causes a large amount of insulin to be released.

It has been shown that your insulin levels will begin to decrease after about 10 minutes of aerobic type exercise and will continue to decrease for another 70 minutes of exercising. It has also been shown that regular exercise will also increase a cells sensitivity to insulin so that less is needed overall.
