You can't lose weight because your body is in survival mode.
This whole process builds slowly over years. What triggers it in the first place? Experts believe that for many people, the problem stems mainly from a diet overloaded with simple carbohydrates -- bread, pasta, pizza, pastries, crackers, chips and other processed snack foods, sweetened beverages, corn syrup, and other quickly-digested sugars and starches. In other words: the typical modern Western diet. Faced with constant, quick hits of easily digested energy sources, the pancreas keeps pumping out insulin to help the energy get into the cells, but the overwhelmed cells finally say, "Enough!" and stop paying attention.
Warning Signs of Insulin Resistance
This kind of stubborn fat doesn't happen in isolation. The difficulty losing weight almost always occurs along with most of the following
Weight gain centered in the middle -- "belly fat" -- measuring greater than 40 inches for a man or 35 inches for a woman
A body mass index (BMI) in the overweight or obese zones
A tendency to crave carbohydrates (as the starving cells tell the brain to give you more, more, more!)
Frequent fatigue, especially right after eating
Foggy thinking (because glucose is the preferred energy source for the brain, and the brain's cells, too, are starving for glucose)
High glucose levels, as measured by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) (The latter test isn't routinely offered in clinical practices.)
Anything over 100 is a problem!
High blood pressure (135/85 or above)
Low levels of "good" HDL cholesterol (below 40 mg/Dl for a man, below 50 mg/Dl for a woman)
High triglyceride levels (150 mg/Dl or above)
Together, this constellation of symptoms is known as "metabolic syndrome," or "syndrome X." Even though there seems to be a genetic predisposition for some people, insulin resistance that leads to type 2 diabetes largely depends on lifestyle. "Anyone can eat his or her way to diabetes,"
