Over the last decade, people have spent more than $600 billion on diets, quick fixes, and so-called “miracle” products. Yet, somehow we’re still getting heavier and left feeling more frustrated and sicker than before.
Most diets focus on restriction and deprivation — cutting calories, carbs, or entire food groups in the hope of losing fat. But your body doesn’t work that way. When you starve yourself or eat unbalanced snacks all day, your blood sugar levels spike, your insulin becomes disrupted, and your body stores fat instead of burning it for energy.
This approach doesn’t lead to lasting success. Instead, it causes muscle loss and water loss, slows your metabolism, and leaves you feeling tired, foggy, and stuck in a frustrating cycle of dieting and regaining weight.
It’s time to take your power back. Stop punishing your body with quick fixes. Start fueling it, respecting it, and working with it. Real change doesn’t come from restriction; it comes from balance, knowledge, and self-care.
Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction are commonly to blame for stubborn weight gain, diet failure, and weight-related health conditions. Even worse? Diet gimmicks and fad diets can worsen metabolic damage and insulin resistance, keeping you dieting for life.
Insulin is the hormone that regulates your metabolism and affects weight gain, aging, and overall health
An unbalanced diet affects insulin effectiveness by increasing glucose levels and spiking insulin, leading to excess glucose being stored as fat. Unhealthy insulin levels lead to insulin resistance and put your body at risk for multiple chronic illnesses.
Fixing your weight problem from the inside out is the key to achieving steady, sustainable weight loss.
Here are some added benefits of working toward better metabolic health:
Learn how to enjoy the foods you love without depriving yourself of nutrients. We’ll give you the strategies to eat the right way for weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.
Implementing a few simple strategies for steady weight loss can help you keep the weight off:
Diet and processed foods contain unnatural ingredients that are not beneficial to you and won’t give your body the energy it needs or the results you want. Creating meals with whole foods following the GOLO Smart Card® will help you lose weight, maintain good energy, and get the nutrition your body needs.
You may notice weight loss in your first week, but if not, that’s perfectly normal. Your body is adjusting as you create healthier habits and a new relationship with food. Remember, progress isn’t just what shows on the scale. Weight loss is a natural result of better nutrition, and once it begins, it will be steady, sustainable, and rewarding.
“Our mission at GOLO is targeting the root causes of weight gain and helping your body repair and rejuvenate itself from the inside out. We know you have many options when choosing a weight loss plan. It can be frustrating and confusing. The promise of quick fixes can be appealing, but won’t last long-term.”
