Losing weight

If you want to drop excess pounds control your insulin levels. What does this mean? Eat a low carbohydrate diet. The more adipose tissue you have, the less carbohydrates you should ingest. This doesn't include vegetables though. Eat lots of those, especially the green ones. Also add in some fish oils. So in summary, as Charles Poliquin said "if it doesn't walk, swim or fly or isn't green don't eat it." You'll also sleep better, which is a big part of controlling your appetite.
