Do you always struggle with your weight? Do you suffer from high blood pressure or cholesterol? Do you often feel tired or lethargic? Do you usually crave sugary or starchy foods? Do you have a poor memory or concentration? If your answer is yes to two or more of these questions you need to take control of your metabolism and insulin levels, says Antony Haynes. Trouble with insulin begins when your body becomes resistant to this hormone that controls blood sugar levels, usually caused by a diet high in refined sugars and carbohydrates. Insulin resistance, or syndrome X, affects 1 in 5 people and lies behind many serious health problems including heart disease, type II diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, PCOS and deep vein thrombosis. The good news is that syndrome X and its knock-on effects are completely reversible, and this book offers a clear nutritional plan to help you do just that.
