Concept Introduction:
Too low calories would lead to invariable weight loss or similar to fasting. The failure rate of less calorie as a primary strategy is an appalling 99%. Using a high rational model of obesity as a hormonal disorder leads to the hypothesis that increasing insulin should lead to permanent weight gain. Low carbohydrate diets and fasting accomplish the goal.

She instructed Kate to measure her blood glucose level twice a day before and after breakfast and dinner. Paula explains to Kate that her pre-meal blood glucose level should be 110 mg/dLmg/dL or less, and if it increases by more than 50 mg/dLmg/dL, she needs to lower the amount of carbohydrates she consumes. Kate and Paula proceed to plan several meals. Because a meal should contain about 45 to 60 gg of carbohydrates, they combined fruits and vegetables that have high and low levels of carbohydrates in the same meal to stay within the recommended range. Kate and Paula also discuss the fact that complex carbohydrates in the body take longer to break down into glucose and, therefore, raise the blood sugar level more gradually. Kate increased her exercise to walking 30 minutes twice a day.
