Weight Loss Nutritionists - The Latest Research

Through dietary and lifestyle changes, individuals attempt to minimize post-prandial glucose spikes, to aid weight loss, optimize mental health, suppress hunger and food cravings, improve sleep, as well as avoid glycemic fluctuations.

A continual glucose monitor provides real-time glucose level information, glucose fluctuations, and other glucose-specific metrics, to measure effect of post-prandial hyperglycemia upon the health of individuals….

Overweight subjects had insulin resistance and significantly elevated levels of C-peptide, adiponectin and glucagon and lower level of ghrelin.

This shows that insulin (glucose response) is a strong factor in being overweight, and that how our insulin behaves, has a strong impact on our appetite and eating behaviour..

A feature of refined carbohydrates is their predisposition to cause increased fluctuations in plasma insulin and glucose levels and postprandial reactive hypoglycaemia.

..increased consumption of refined carbohydrates and their predisposition to cause increased fluctuations in insulin, glucose and reactive hypoglycaemia (blood sugar ‘crashes’ after meals) - both of which have negative impacts on the metabolism…

..in a group of obese adults, reducing insulin was associated with loss of body weight and fat mass, without changing diet or exercise..

Total calorie intake and carbohydrate craving also significantly decreased. Suppressing insulin secretion could also alter food choices and preference in obese adults…

Normalising the glucose response may improve insulin sensitivity.
