Overcome Weight Loss Setbacks
Making healthy lifestyle changes in order to lose weight isn't easy, especially when you have maintained unhealthy eating habits for so long. When you make plans to lose weight in the beginning, it's easy to slip back into your old ways. It's important to have a plan in place for these occurrences.

Design a Weight Loss Workout Plan
Getting in shape, for most people, involves losing weight and toning muscles. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise should be incorporated at the same time, since each facet of the plan relies on the other for an optimal chance of success. Designing your workout plan for weight loss allows you to customize your plan to your own individual taste, schedule and needs.

Lose Weight With Insulin Resistance
Insulin is a hormone that is secreted by the pancreas when you eat. It transports the sugars out of your blood and sends them to your liver, muscle and fat cells where it is either changed into energy or stored as fat. When you are insulin resistant, this means that your body has a difficult time getting the sugar from your blood to your cells, and in fact the process is defective, thus requiring the body to produce more and more insulin in order to get the sugars in the blood into your cells. These higher levels of insulin in turn can cause weight gain, increased risk of heart disease, increased risk of clotting, and can increase your chances of getting diabetes by the age of 40 by 40%. Because of the fact that your body has to produce more and more insulin, this makes it more difficult to lose weight, but it's not impossible. Here is how to lose weight when you are insulin resistant.
