Kushner sees two positives in society's changing views of weight. If you are noticing that it's become rather easy for you to gain weight and almost impossible to lose that extra weight with your usual diet changes, chances are that you may have insulin resistance. Often an undiagnosed issue, insulin resistance causes metabolic changes in your body, making it very hard to shed those excess pounds. What's worse, insulin resistance is the precursor to various other health issues like the metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, type 2-diabetes, PCOS and even cardiovascular disease. Let's look at why losing weight with insulin resistance is so difficult and how to win this battle.
Of course. I'm not into advocating for any type of diet, but the recipes are sugar-free, dairy-free, and the only grains are quinoa (which is actually a pseudo-grain and the only complete protein in the plant world) so really the plan is also grain-free. I might add a gluten-free rolled oatmeal breakfast from time to time, but mainly we are looking at seasonal meals with tons of veggies, dark leafy greens, fruit, and other anti-inflammatory foods.
One of the problems with our approach to diet is that we think of it only through the prism of weight loss, as opposed to overall health. What you eat affects everything: your skin, hair, energy levels, sleep quality, and so forth. If there's one thing that any healthy eating documentary teaches you, it's that changing your diet in a minor way can get rid of seemingly incurable illnesses, mysterious aches and pains, and can even abate anxiety and depression ( not to mention help you live longer ).
