Why It Works

Whatever the reasons for weight gain, there’s always a common denominator: insulin dysfunction and pancreatic dysfunction. If you don’t have a weight problem and you eat sugar, your pancreas will produce exactly the right amount of insulin required to normalize your blood sugar and no fat will be stored.

However, if an overweight person eats sugar, his or her pancreas will produce more insulin than necessary. In 1905, the average American ate about five pounds of sugar per year. Today, the average American consumes over 150 pounds of sugar! Your pancreas was not designed to handle all of that sugar!

Insulin causes an overweight person’s blood sugar level to fall too low, causing him or her to be hypoglycemic and crave more sugar. At the same time, excess insulin will make that individual gain weight because insulin is the hormone responsible for fat storage.

A dysfunctional pancreas is like an overheated motor. When a motor overheats, it must be shut off so that it can cool down. Then, when it is restarted, it will be more efficient!

The Ideal Protein diet protocol works because it helps you do the same thing with your pancreas. If you give your pancreas a break, it will recover and your body will be able to regenerate.
