In case you want to lose weight, you need to understand the mechanism by which you get fat and so you will understand the logic of the measures that I propose.

In the vast majority of cases, the accumulation of fat is a consequence of increased insulin secretion, which, in turn, is a consequence of insulin resistance, which is produced by excessive consumption of carbohydrates (sugar, beer, starchy products, i.e. flour, potatoes, rice).

When carbohydrates reach the intestine, they break down into glucose molecules that absorb into the bloodstream and cause a rise in blood glucose, which leads to increased insulin secretion. Insulin causes channels to open in cell membranes, through which glucose enters cells, where it is burned to produce energy.

If the situation is prolonged, the cells react less to the action of insulin, so blood glucose does not return to normal. In this situation, the pancreas increases the secretion of insulin, which, for a while, manages to bring blood glucose back to normal, albeit somewhat more slowly. This is the stage of insulin resistance.

If the situation is prolonged, insulin resistance increases and blood glucose returns to normal very slowly. This is the pre-diabetes stage.

In the end, blood glucose does not return to normal and we talk about type 2 diabetes.

An increased insulin level leads to fat accumulation, initially in the liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver occurs), later the fat is deposited in the abdominal cavity. In this way, extra pounds appear.

Fortunately, the situation is reversible by reducing the level of insulin in the blood: cells become sensitive to insulin, blood glucose levels gradually fall, the body starts to burn fat for energy and weight loss occurs.

The method I propose to reduce insulin levels has several components, two of which are essential:

1. Intermittent fasting, which means you must have no more than 3 meals a day, and between the first and last meal must be no more than 8 hours. Snacks are not allowed between meals. You can have up to one meal a day. For details, I recommend the book "Lose weight without counting calories".
2. avoiding or minimizing sugar intake and moderate consumption of starchy products.

Additional measures:

1. taking berberine, which lowers blood sugar; 
2. Taking a probiotic for insulin resistance is often accompanied by an imbalance in the intestinal microbial flora.
3. drinking a solution with ginger, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and lemon, which reduces insulin resistance. You can see how to prepare it in this video: https://youtu.be/l090727qS7k
4. administration of zeolite, which improves metabolism and digestion through detoxification. The dose is 6 capsules a day. No contraindications, no side effects. In some people may give, in the first few days, a transient constipation, which is why it is best to drink 2 liters of water a day. Because zeolite detoxifies the body, dizziness, headaches and digestive symptoms may occur during the first few days due to the elimination of a large quantity of toxins. Therefore, it is best to start with 1 capsule per day and increase the dose gradually, by 1 capsule per day, until the normal dose is reached

This method can also be applied by people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, because it helps to go into remission.
