Do you not just love but crave pasta and bread? You may be a carbohydrate addict according to Doctors Richard and Rachel Heller. But it isn't all about high calorie, low nutrient foods, it's about your insulin level, which can really play havoc with your attitude and age you prematurely with excess body fat.

Insulin is a natural hormone made in the pancreas. Its purpose is to regulate excess sugar in the blood. High insulin levels caused by eating simple or high glycemic carbs cause your body's glucose levels to fall. As your body tries to balance low a glucose level, it become less sensitive to insulin allowing more sugar in the bloodstream which is converted to fat.

Stable insulin levels control food cravings and balance your mood.

Years of eating low quality carbs, will ensure stubborn fat that you just can't burn. Until you stabilize your insulin levels, weight loss will elude you.  Not only will you burn less calories, eating foods that stimulate insulin can cause you to consume a whooping 60 - 70% more calories!
