Interpreting your result
ОглавлениеIf your BMI puts you in the overweight or obese bracket, you need to start thinking about losing weight. People who are overweight have a greater chance of developing conditions that are caused at least in part by Insulin Resistance: high blood pressure, high blood fats and cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, strokes and certain cancers. Even a small weight loss (just 10 per cent of your current weight) will help to lower your insulin and consequent risk of developing those diseases. You don’t and shouldn’t try to lose weight overnight, as crash dieting actually increases Insulin Resistance. Instead you should follow the Insulin Factor Plan as recommended in chapter 12 which will help you to lose weight steadily and permanently.
