Insulin...You Naughty Whore - Jerry's Corner...A View from the Plus Size
May 25, 2010
Well I learned something recently after battling the bulge most of my life...you have one friend and one enemy in the weight loss and performance game….and the winner is… insulin….if controlled you’ll enjoy the benefits and if not you’ll be on a roller coaster like I use to be. I was fortunate I was given the tools to succeed, but not before using the blueprint coach J had given us….first off the food diary…he told me log everything you eat I don’t care what or how much write it down and for the last two weeks... I have and guess what …weekends suck ….total killer to someone's diet. I would have to say I work fairly hard during the week on my diet but then succumb to being a dad and enjoying some pizza with my kids on the weekend and a few diet Pepsis which, in turn, spike my insulin and the weekend is a free for all with the food….I got writer's cramp after logging all my food I ate on the weekend…total b.s. on my part as I need more discipline I know…. ….controlling your insulin is like controlling your life….and the number one way is be prepared ..cook ahead and have options that wont spike your insulin…that will keep me on track and write down every bit of food that I eat... the good, the bad and my trainer (sorry I meant the ugly...get those two confused). Funny thing, the other day I had a discussion about weight loss and all the usual responses came up jenny Craig and weight watchers the typical answers….but those plans are short fixes and not long term solutions I said…so they asked why I thought the zone/controlling insulin was the way to go…so I told them to Google insulin/weight loss and clinical tests and there diet the same way…still waiting on a response…my wife did that and was amazed as it showed a clear picture of me and many others that just cant handle carbs. She was amazed with all the trials and results done and when you have a diet that’s fact based and trials done on real people..well hard to argue…kind of like a food diary can't argue with the facts ..rock on
