Learn More About the Ideal Protein Protocol - Why Do We Talk about Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic Syndrome, arguably the epidemic of the century, is the name given to a general disorder characterised by four symptoms: 1. Central obesity 2. Hypertension 3. Hyperlipidemia 4. Hyperglycemia One of the objectives of the Protocol is to help address the issues surrounding metabolic syndrome, a common risk factor for heart disease and diabetes. At Ideal Protein, we believe that Metabolic Syndrome is a problem caused by food (high carbohydrate intake, i.e. sugar), but the treatment is also food. When we put patients and clients on a ketogenic diet, insulin levels decrease. By keeping insulin levels low, we allow the cells to regain their sensitivity to insulin and the pancreas' production of insulin to return to normal. This has been confirmed by hundreds of before-and-after fasting insulin levels in patients or clients seen in clinics and centers that have adopted our weight loss Protocol.
