Losing weight may be your motive, and working with a weight loss expert in Washington DC is a step in the right direction. But you may miss the key steps to losing weight if you do not have an idea of how the body works. What is the main reason behind body fat? In spite of eating hearty meals, the common complaint most of have is that we are tired and lack energy. What could the reason be? The answer is Insulin. Our body naturally produces this hormone and all those who put on excess body fat and have low energy levels are insulin resistant.

What exactly is Insulin?

Insulin is required by our body for transforming sugars into energy. Insulin is released by the body with a view to control the blood sugar levels necessary for maintaining overall body health. In all people who suffer from insulin resistance, the body is incapable of controlling blood sugar levels and this can result in several health problems including stroke.

What causes body fat?

Body fat and insulin are connected; your Washington DC weight loss expert can help you figure out the connection between these two things. Take a look at what happens within our body on an average day.

* You start your day by having a healthy breakfast that includes lean bacon, eggs and spinach.

* After using the energy from this food, your body turns to the stored fat in your body to use as energy. That is good and it is what you need in order to lose weight.

* For lunch, you have a sandwich. The bread from within the sandwich causes carbohydrates to rush into your bloodstream. These have to be handled by the body to be used as energy.

* Insulin is produced by our body as a reaction. This insulin compels your body to use carbohydrates in your blood as fuel instead of the fat that is stored in your cells. This happens so that your blood sugar levels stay under control.

The problem with this situation is something your Washington, DC weight loss trainer is likely to tell you. If you have any level of insulin resistance in your lean tissue, it does not respond properly to the insulin. This means that it cannot take care of the carbohydrates properly which means your blood sugar will remain high.

Understanding what happens to lean cells, is another way to look at the situation. These cells starve due to carbohydrates released in the blood. Since the fat has been pushed back to your cells, your lean tissues is left with nothing to burn and this results in a drop in your energy levels. The end result is that you feel famished and worn out. This is a continuous process.

In order to avoid this problem with your blood sugar, your Washington DC weight loss expert advises you to cut down on your carbohydrate intake.
