- 3. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method targets prevention and solutions for Syndrome X, also called "Metabolic Syndrome". The cause of most weight issues in the United States is insulin dysfuction or insulin resistance. To qualify as part of the obesity epidemic, adults only need to suffer from 2 of the 4 components of Metabolic Syndrome:
- 4. • Almost always linked to excessive caloric intake • Fat storage is directly linked to the physiological effects of insulin and glucagon • The typical American diet: 'high-carb' causes the pancreas to work overtime • Pancreas becomes worn out or dysfunctional
- 5. • Diabetes, failure of blood sugar regulation • Blood sugar (glucose) needs to be regulated by proper amounts of insulin and glucagon
- 6. • High levels of insulin increase cholesterol levels = can cause more fat storage • This problem can be addressed through carb (sugar) reduction and fat reduction
- 7. • Often associated with high fat intake • People with high blood pressure are often overweight
