High Insulin = Low Sugar = No Weight Loss

[Russian_BANDit_inNY 4]

You can get everything else right and not make good progress if you allow your insulin levels to get out of whack.

I am back to this site after few months of silence ...and now I have an answer to why I am no longer loosing. I need to share what happened to me - hopefully it will help someone who is/will go through the same...

I had my surgery March 2011. I was not diabetic. My cholesterol was in 160-170 range.

Lost almost 25% of my original weight with no fills. Stopped loosing End of 2011.

Had first fill in December. Have good restriction. No cravings. Healthy diet. Regular light exercise. But still did not loose a pound.

A nagging thought of "born fat will die fat" start creeping into my head. So I start eating what I should not, just to give myself a reason to WHY I am no longer loosing. I am now 7LB above my minimum weight.

Routine blood work showed that my cholesterol is 195. I was upset by that, but my doctor was more concerned that my Insulin was too high and my sugar was too low.

After a lot of reading up on the Internet about High Insulin levels I am now hopping that addressing and 'fixing' that problem will get me back on the 'loosing' streak :-)

So I now have the reason and hope I will get my insulin levels back to normal. Would love to hear from anyone else who went through the same.

PS

Pre-surgery people also should check Free T3 cells (blood test) normalizing its levels might let you loose weight without the band.

I have not gone through that specifically but inknow that is the premise behind Atkins and other low carb high Protein diets.People think it's about decreasing sugar(and it is) but more specifically it's about stabilizing insulin levels in ur body which will decrease ur cholesterol blood sugar and weight :-)
