By murray | March 23, 2009
PERMANENT FAT LOSS: Hamilton Personal Trainer says, the only way to really control your weight is to control insulin levels. You will begin 
shedding all the excess body fat you need to loose when planning your meals ahead of time. Many who have followed a plan have lost 20-40 pounds. More importantly, they have kept those pounds off!!
REDUCED RISK OF HEART DISEASE: As insulin levels decrease, your risk of heart disease decreases.
REDUCED RISK OF DEVELOPING ADULT ON SET TYPE 2 DIABETES: Usually on thinks of diabetes as a disease in which your body produces no insulin. This is called type 1 diabetes. However, more than 90% of all diabetics have type 2 diabetes. This is when the body produces too little insulin for your body weight, or ignores insulin.
PROTECTION FROM ARTHRITIS AND OSTEOPOROSIS: Lowering insulin can alleviate tissue inflammation because reduced insulin levels also mean reduced levels of the building blocks of pain-producing eicosanoids By decreasing these eicosanoids you relieve the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
FEWER INFECTIONS: Adequate protein intake ensures proper functioning of the immune system; which is your body's natural defense mechanism against disease. Many people on high carbohydrate diets have suppressed immune systems and are more susceptible to infection because of excessive insulin levels. They're more likely to get sicknesses such as a cold or the flu, compared to people that get adequate protein throughout the day.
