Houston we have a problem: American study shows that humanity has become increasingly unhealthy since 1985. While in 1985 the majority were below the 10% BMI risk factor level, in 2020 almost across the board they have >30% risky BMI or are in a phase of obesity.
Now we take America as an example because that is where most data has been collected over the longer term, but we also follow the same trend in Europe.
The dangers caused by obesity are extensive, a small list of symptoms caused by obesity are: sleep apnea, depression, high blood pressure, metabolic disorder, Type 2 diabetes, joint pain, increased risk of cancer, infertility, birth complications, eye damage, kidney damage, nerve damage, immobility, liver damage, myocardial infarction, amputation, etc.
The cause of global weight gain is attributed to the amounts of sugar and carbohydrates that we humans consume. A German study has shown that the amount of insulin in our blood has a direct relationship with the percentage of obesity a person has. For example, a person with a BMI under 25 kg/m2 breaks down 75g of glucose (equivalent to 32-36 Haribo sweets = 675 ml of cola = 834 ml of orange juice) in 180 minutes. This means that people with a BMI of < 25 kg/m2 experience a 50% blockage of fat burning during this period. In people with a BMI of > 30 kg/m2, this is already an 80% blockage of fat burning. Either during the period when sweets or carbohydrate-rich meals are consumed, no fat will be burned! Take 5 small meals a day and your fat burning will come to a complete standstill.
In short, if you want to lose weight, you will have to burn fat and this works best by consuming as little sugar or carbohydrates as possible, a low-carb or Keto diet can help with this. For example, the Düsseldorf bread study has shown that by simply changing the type of bread (from rye bread to bread with a low sugar content), people structurally lose 3-2 kg of weight within 3 months (age group >55 years).
With a low insulin program you will see results within 7 days, you can easily measure this with the Ketoscan mini at any time of the day. You can also use the Ketoscan to monitor which foods directly influence your fat burning.
