Do you know why women gain weight in the midsection easily? Insulin! Insulin is actually a fat-storing hormone. High levels of insulin in the bloodstream cause the formation and storage of “jiggly” fat that’s located just under the skin around the midsection. It also causes a deeper visceral fat in and around the liver. When this happens some of your symptoms are weight gain, irregular sleep patterns and hot flashes!

In addition to belly bulge,this type of fat also causes longer range problems. As these fat cells grow they secrete an inflammatory compound called C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. These bad guys damage the insulin receptors on cell membranes forcing insulin to remain in the bloodstream. This puts more stress on the pancreas and liver.

Blood becomes thick and can barely pass through veins, triggering high blood pressure, fatigue and increasing a persons chances of having heart disease.

So what is the solution? It’s really simple, cut down on the amount of sugar that you eat. Only have about 15 grams of sugar and 6 servings of carbs a day. Sugar has such an addictive quality that a lot of manufacturers slip it into the product that we think are healthy because they want you to eat more and buy more. The average women consumes about 47 teaspoons of sugar a day, YIKES! That’s about 1,386% more than recommended to maintain your health and a decent weight.

Eliminate all sugar substitutes like Aspartame, Nutra Sweet, Splenda, etc. People who reduce their intake of sugar will have over a 60% decrease in belly fat and over a 46% decrease in liver fat and besides a slimmer midsection you will also enjoy fewer hot flashes or eliminate them completely. You could lose more than 10 pounds in just one week alone.

Remember to always drink plenty of purified or filtered water to help flush the toxins out of your kidneys as well.
