Now to understand our hormones better

When breaking down what insulin is, it is like a double edged sword and when used incorrectly it will cut us instead of the fat. Insulin is anabolic, and will spur muscle growth and cell reproduction.

Pretty f***ing awesome right? Well, only if it’s timed correctly. The other side of this blade is it also spurs growth of any kind, including fat while blunting the production of “HGH” (the magic fat burning, muscle building anti-ager).

The body can not burn fat while insulin levels are high. Fat is an emergency fuel, only used when it is absolute needed. What we see as ugly superficial excess skin, the body see’s as life saving fuel that is absolutely needed in order to survive.
