• The Root Cause of Insulin Resistance. Posted 10/28/2016. Insulin resistance is the body's way of saying "stop taking in more glucose!" What doctors traditionally do is give the patient more insulin to reduce the amount of glucose in the blood--i.e. treating the symptom and not the cause. Excess insulin ultimately results in a fatty liver. The excess glucose is "driven" into the liver where it becomes fat. The liver tries to drive out the fat as triglycerides into the body. This fat in the pancreas makes it fatty and produces less insulin.

• How To Burn Fat Step-by-Step Formula. Posted 1/6/2017. In the presence of Insulin, the cells will not burn fat. Therefore, low insulin results in fat burning. If you constantly snack, then Insulin is constantly being pumped into the blood and fat is not burned. [However, I don't agree with this doctor recommending low-carbohydrate diet.] Large amounts of protein increases Insulin production. MSG (Chinese food) spikes Insulin by 200%. Stress increases Insulin. Too frequent meals spikes Insulin. "People with Insulin resistance have 5 to 7 times more insulin than normal people." A "fasting insulin test" (not a "fasting glucose test") to determine how much insulin is being produced in the body.
