Fat gain isn’t just about overeating—it’s often driven by hormonal imbalances, especially insulin. When we eat sugar or high-glycemic foods, insulin spikes to regulate blood sugar, but excess sugar gets stored as fat. Over time, this leads to insulin resistance, making fat loss even harder. Many people follow strict diets unaware they’re ignoring the root cause: hormone dysfunction. The book teaches how insulin and glucagon work together—one stores fat, the other releases it. With this knowledge, you can eat in a way that supports your fat-burning hormones rather than working against them. By choosing low-glycemic carbs, balanced proteins, and healthy fats, you reduce insulin spikes and promote fat loss naturally. Understanding this mechanism empowers you to stop fearing food and start seeing it as a tool for healing. You’re not broken—your body simply needs the right conditions to do what it’s designed to do.
