Watch your insulin

Current research has concluded that it might be the body's own insulin hormone that prevents weight loss. Insulin is produced by the pancreas and gets released when you eat to help your cells absorb the glucose contained in food and lower your blood sugar. However, if your body has insulin resistance, this blocks the fat-burning process and makes the body more likely to store fat. In order to keep insulin levels as low as possible during the day, stick to complex carbohydrates, and avoid carbs as much as possible at dinnertime.
