Healthy Dieting

Mood Management

Eating high-dieting food creates mood disorders. Your body reacts to these foods by increasing insulin levels, which then increases the level of stress hormones.

With elevated levels of adrenaline and cortisol, a person easily experiences anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. If stress hormones stay high over a long period of time, a person can end up medically diagnosed with a mood disorder.

As you control insulin levels with a dieting index weight-loss program, you should feel better and have fewer down or anxious moments. This is a great win-win situation for someone trying to lose weight because just being on a weight-loss program often adds stress. So expect to feel good and feel in control of your moods, which makes for great weight-loss success.

Body Perks

Dieting index weight loss offers you some terrific physical body benefits that you’ll appreciate throughout your weight-loss program, including your maintenance program. Because we each have unique body chemistry and needs, the following benefits will vary:

• Better and sounder sleep. Because your stress levels won’t be increased due to increased insulin and cortisol, more serotonin will be available, enabling you to get to sleep easier and to sleep more soundly. However, if your stress levels are already high because of other life situations, you might not fully realize this benefit.
• Flatter tummy. Yes, it takes plenty of exercise, crunches, and sweat to produce abs of steel. But if insulin and cortisol are raging through your body because of the insulin, high-carb connection, your ab crunching efforts may produce paltry results. As your insulin levels stabilize at a lower level, you can expect to see a marked reduction in tummy flab. You can accelerate this result with an exercise program, as described in Part 6.

• Regularity. Because you’ll be eating 25 grams or more of dietary fiber every day, you’ll decrease the transit time of food and waste products through your digestive system. (To help everything along, be sure to drink at least the recommended eight glasses of water every day.)
• Fewer plateaus. Weight-loss plateaus are the bane of people who are on any weight-loss program. You start losing weight but then plateau or level out, and, no matter how rock-steady you are on your diet, you can’t seem to lose the next few pounds. The stall seems unfair and can be so disappointing that a person loses momentum and enthusiasm. We can’t promise that you won’t experience a weight-loss plateau on a dieting index weight-loss program, but provided you follow the total program, it will be short-lived and perhaps nonexistent.
• Clearer skin. Who doesn’t want to have better skin? Elevated insulin levels can cause inflammation, and the inflammation shows up in many areas of your body. One of them is your skin. Dermatologists now recommend a low-dieting eating plan along with supplementation of essential fatty acids to improve the appearance of your skin and make it moist, plump, and radiant. Eating right can reduce wrinkling, acne, breakouts, congestion, and other annoying skin conditions.
• Fewer allergic reactions. Research shows that people who eat meals based on the dieting index tend to have fewer allergies or display milder symptoms. This is because lower insulin levels enhance immune system function. Is it possible that you’ll have fewer colds? We can’t promise you, but it’s possible.
• Aging. An important contributor to longevity is insulin sensitivity. Insulin sensitivity means your cells are responding to insulin and correctly uptaking blood sugar for energy. By keeping your insulin levels low, the odds are you’ll age better and live longer, too.

Of course, the biggest body perk is that you’ll attain your ideal size and be able to stay there for life, simply by continuing to eat mostly low-dieting foods and meals within the framework of a healthy lifestyle. No matter why you want to lose weight— to look good, for self-esteem, to move on with your life, or to improve your health— you’ll have the opportunity to achieve your goals.
