Why Insulin is a Key to Weight Control
Most people think they’re doing their waist a favor by skipping breakfast and only eating 2 meals in a day. Doing this affects your blood sugar and it’s proven that eating smaller meals more often – resulted in lower insulin levels.“Insulin is the primary regulator of fat metabolism so it plays a key role in weight control.”You see, insulin plays many roles in the body but one critical role is to keep blood sugar under control. It is also the primary regulator of fat metabolism so it plays a key role in weight control. 

When we secrete insulin, or if the level of insulin in our blood is abnormally elevated, we’ll accumulate fat in the fat tissue.A key to keeping your blood sugar under control is to eat frequently. 
As I covered in the last email it’s recommended to eat 5 meals a day. 

If you do, you’ll avoid those energy dips that typically lead to binge eating not to mention feeling sluggish and tired. 

Have you ever noticed headaches creep up on you in the late afternoon if you haven’t eaten much all day?Low blood sugar is usually the culprit. 
Steady blood sugar can help you feel better and keep those cravings for sweets under control. If you can plan your meals and snacks at intervals of about every 3 hours you’ll keep your blood sugar in check. Here’s an example timetable.TimeMeal 7 am Breakfast, 10 am Snack, 1 pm Lunch, 4 pm Snack, 7 pm Dinner
One of the things I like about the Shaklee 180 weight control system is that you are supposed to eat 5 times a day and their smoothies and snacks keep you feeling full and you don’t get the blood sugar drops.

If you’re looking for a long term solution to your weight issues I encourage you to give the 180 system a try.
