Medical Weight Management Center | Weight Loss Nutrition of Edina and Minneapolis

Weight loss and nutrition, the safe, responsible and effective way! Our medical programs are based on the fact that most overweight people suffer from insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. In these conditions, the insulin that is released in response to eating carbohydrates does not work appropriately, and this leads to an overproduction of insulin in the body (hyperinsulinemia). Insulin works against weight loss by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down the body's stored fat. It also helps to make fat out of the food we eat that is not used up in our daily activities. By limiting carbohydrates, and therefore decreasing insulin release, the insulin resistance can be reduced and the body is able to burn its stored fat. It is probably not your fault that you have been unable to lose weight on you own. Insulin resistance is likely to be a genetic problem, and correcting it requires professional help.
