I'm really glad you mentioned this. There's a lot more to weight loss then meets the eye. Your body actively works against you if you're not smart about meeting its needs, and knowing what is real hunger and what is a sugar craving takes a higher level of self-awareness then a lot of people think is necessary. Insulin is a hell of a hormone - your consciousness finds any excuse to raise that blood sugar when it gets too low. Makes you question free will sometimes :) When the established medical practice is to inject people with MORE insulin when their body has produced so much it has become insensitive to it, there's gotta be something wrong. I don't think we've even scratched the surface when it comes to treating metabolic disorders.
