The best way to choose a weight loss plan or weight loss program is to understand the real cause of your weight problem. For most people seeking to lose weight, the issue they need to address is Insulin Resistance. If you are insulin resistant, the energy from your food is not reaching your cells and will cause a build up of fat. Dieting alone or simply eating low carbohydrate food will not necessarily cause you to lose weight. Your weight loss plan must address the problem of Insulin Resistance. This is why we recommend the Insulite System.

What makes the Insulite System different from other weight loss programs?

Most likely a Weight loss program will fall into one of two types: they offer a low carbohydrate diet with no special nutritional formula, or they provide a bottle of pills without a weight loss plan to help you with dieting. The Insulite System is different because it combines a powerful formula with a truly effective weight loss plan that includes exercise guidelines and an easy-to-sustain low carbohydrate diet. This is why people who use the Insulite System almost always lose weight.

Does it matter how fast I lose weight?

Dr. Mary Shackelton strongly believes you should lose weight slowly — just a few pounds a month. Of course, once you have chosen a weight loss program you will be eager to lose weight as fast as you can. However, many medical authorities agree it is unsafe to lose weight quickly, plus there is a danger that you will be deceived by your early success and give up your weight loss plan too quickly. Thousands of people have discovered that it is much harder to lose weight if you return to a weight loss program you have earlier abandoned. This is why crash dieting can eventually cause you to gain rather than lose weight.

What exactly is a low carbohydrate diet?

A low carbohydrate diet is simply a diet that avoids too many carbohydrate foods such as potatoes, bread, pasta and grains. Human beings have only been eating large amounts of carbohydrates for a few thousand years and the body has not yet adjusted to these foods. Yet many people find it difficult follow a weight loss plan because these foods give a feeling of comfort and well being. That’s why the weight loss plan in the Insulite System involves a gradual shift to low carbohydrate foods rather than some of the more drastic approaches that are popular today.

What kinds of low carbohydrate food can I eat if I wish to lose weight?

You can eat a wide range of delicious health foods as part of your low carbohydrate diet, including legumes, meat, fish, dairy foods and fresh fruit and vegetables. To many people’s surprise, you can include fat in your weight loss plan because eating fat does not actually make you fat. In other words, you can eat fresh eggs, milk, cheese and high quality oils and still lose weight. Science now shows that it is important to include good fats in your weight loss plan in order to keep the body in balance. Dieting doesn’t have to be a difficult task when you use our weigh loss program.
