Being Overweight is a Major Cause of Diabetes?
Your weight is your biggest risk factor for developing diabetes. Fat cells cause the body to release more insulin, resulting in insulin resistance.
What foods do not produce fat burning hormones?
Grains and all other refined (processed) carbohydrates. Refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance/syndrome X, diabetes, and many diet related diseases.
The two major problems underlying type 2 diabetes are?
Insulin resistance and obesity
What foods should you avoid to prevent diabetes type 2?
Apart from the occasional treat, avoid refined processedcarbohydrates. They are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes type 2, and many other diet related diseases. For a list of these foods, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
What causes polycystic ovary syndrome?
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) does not have a rigidly defined cause, as mononucleosis and hemophilia do. Instead, PCOS describes a group of related symptoms that occur as a consequence of other factors. High blood sugar can sometimes (though not always) cause hormone imbalances. These imbalances affect the endocrine system, and can result in symptoms of PCOS. The cause is complicated, however -- many women who develop PCOS do not have elevated blood sugar at first, but may develop it later as a consequence of PCOS. It has been established that PCOS is related to insulin resistance and Diabetes, but it is a chicken-and-egg relationship in that which causes the other isn't fully understood. It appears that women may develop PCOS for different reasons. Adrenal abnormalities that cause increased androgen production may contribute to PCOS, with insulin resistance and diabetes as a consequence. Conversely, obesity can lead to insulin resistance, which is a major contributor to hormone imbalances. Because of this, PCOS may arise as a result of inherited traits in some women, while for others it is a consequence of lifestyle or environment.

The major function of insulin is participation in what?
Insulin is involved in the regulation of sugar.
What cause air resistance?
I do not know.Perhaps it is caused by a sudden acceleration of wind resistance caused by the outer feedings lead by a major pushback from air against gravity.
Is is a good idea to lower carbohydrates to lose weight in all cases?
If you are on an intense fitness regimen a number of carbohydrates will be needed. Overall, however, reducing your daily intake of carbohydrates, particularly refined processed carbohydrates, is good for weight loss and health. Refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, heart disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes type 2, and other diet related diseases. Too many carbohydrates, particularly refined processed carbohydrates, can produce insulin resistance. Hence, our present epidemics of obesity and diabetes type 2.If you have become significantly insulin resistant (many people are insulin resistant without being aware of it), it can reach the stage where you will need to count carbohydrates and calories in order to lose weight. In other words, people who have become very insulin resistant can no longer lose weight by just counting calories or by just counting carbohydrates, even though both or either method worked for them in the past (when they were less insulin resistant). If you are unsure what refined processed carbohydrates are, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions..
How might you lose stomach fat in two months?
You need to reduce your intake of refined processed carbohydrates. Refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of fat accumulating around the abdomen or stomach, and ever increasing insulin resistance. In addition, you should engage in regular cardio exercise. For more in-depth information, and helpful lists and plans, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions..
Will you lose weight if you stay under 20 carbs a day?
Some people will but others will not. For many people, 40 grams of carbohydrate per day will prove too much for weight loss. It depends how insulin resistant you are or not. Many overweight people have a degree of insulin resistance (with or without being aware of it). Moreover, all people who suffer from obesity are significantly insulin resistant (with or without being aware of it).
The major effect of insulin is to?
decrease blood sugar
