Our bodies and diet play an absolutely enormous role when it comes to achieving our physical transformation goals. Over the years, our society has increased our carbohydrate intake tremendously because it’s cheap and easy to mass produce, but our bodies don’t necessarily benefit from this.
In fact, because of how many carbs we consume, we have started building a tolerance to a tremendously significant hormone that can make all the difference when making the lifestyle changes we desire. It’s insulin, and it can either be an asset or a massive hindrance depending on how we use it.
Insulin is supposed to regulate your blood sugar by clearing it quickly from you blood stream after a carb-filled meal. It shuttles your blood sugar to muscle tissue instead of letting it remain stagnant and get absorbed into fat cells (which skyrockets weight gain).
But, many times, this is not the case. In reality, when we eat loads and loads of processed carbs, we build a carbohydrate tolerance which then resists much-needed insulin. This insulin resistance then results in dramatically reduced fat burning, increased blood sugar levels, and increased fat storage.
What’s more, insulin resistance often precedes and causes type II diabetes in addition to any number of health problems including but not limited to Alzheimer’s, premature aging, heart disease, and even strokes.
It pays off to be careful with carbs, but so many of us don’t even know what’s supposed to happen when we eat them. Check out below for how our bodies are meant to break down carbohydrates:
When your body is very sensitive to insulin, only a very small amount is required to properly transport glucose from your bloodstream to the appropriate storage sites. If this is the case with you, then you’re in great shape because the body has an intensely difficult time burning off fat with insulin in your bloodstream. As a rule of thumb, the less insulin you have, the better.
Glycogen, for our intents and purposes, is the stored carbohydrate in muscle tissue and the liver. Should these tissues be highly sensitive to insulin, then the lion’s share of glucose will be stored within them as an energy source. The point? If it’s stored as an energy reserve in your muscle tissue, then it’s not converted to fat—and that’s a good thing.
By choosing to increase insulin sensitivity, your body will preserve carbs as energy in lean muscle and the liver, as opposed to unsightly body fat.
Basically, your body’s ability to break down carbs comes down to insulin sensitivity. So before you bite into that juicy burger, think about how it will likely affect your insulin levels. It’s an uphill battle to remain in control of our diet considering the prevalence of media and advertisement, but it’s a necessary battle to remain in control of our bodies.

I am currently in search of Network Engineer for an esteemed client and I wanted to contact you to see if you are comfortable and available. Please send me a word version of resume and the best way for me to contact.
If you know anyone, who is available and comfortable, Feel free to pass my contact details to them. Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon!

I usually just press delete on this nonsense, but like political survey calls and door-to-door siding salesmen, sometimes not answering just can’t satisfy. And plain old no-thank-you answer won’t do – I like to toy around before I bat you away (really, you woke me up early on a Saturday with an annoying doorbell ring, double-knock, ring to ask if I want new siding when it is plain as day that I am super-pleased with the dented up old siding I have). This was one of those cases…. Here’s my reply:
It is so kind of you to wish greatness on me. The world would be a much better place if everyone just tried to do great (instead of whatever it is the kids are doing these days). Your hoping for my greatness adds to my general wellness. I hope my wish for your greatness leaves you well, as well.
You came right out and listed availability and comfortableness important factors in future conversation you you. Since you have been so forthcoming with me, I’ll cut straight to the point: I am not currently available – my wife of 8 years can attest to this fact. I will say, however, that I am quite comfortable – I have a great family, a nice job, a quaint little home, amazing friends, good health, and most of my hair. I have found that comfort and availability often run counter to each other, and that when they do run together it is often a sign of mental illness, infidelity, or an inherent misunderstanding of the OSI model, if you catch my drift. If you’ll settle for one of your two qualifying factors for talking to you, I’ll continue to speak towards your 6-month Network Engineer position with an esteemed client in Richardson, TX or San Jose, CA.
As for my skills as they pertain to the job you have described, I can do all of that and more! The only skill I lack is CCNP. CCNP is a really hard skill to learn – I’ve heard there is even a test for it! Can you believe that? I have thought about learning CCNP, so I feel that I might as well be almost done with it (and I hope you’ll agree).
However, because of my low degree of availability and high comfort factor, I am afraid that I may not be the ideal candidate for the 6-month Network Engineer position with an esteemed client in Richardson, TX or San Jose, CA. Maybe if you had a position:
1.) close to my Northern Virginia home… let’s just say if I hear more than two songs on the radio on my drive to my current office in the morning it is a bad start to the day – a commute to Richardson, TX or San Jose, CA would really put me in a bad mood, thus inhibiting my ability to fulfill these essential job functions:
2.) that lasted more than 6 month(s) – I’m big into commitment, I dig jobs that last years, not months
3.) that more closely fit my skills and interests (you should have noticed I’m a technical manager with a background in VMware virtualization, storage, and Microsoft server systems),
4.) with an awesome company (your client may be esteemed (more like ego-maniacs, am I right?) but my current employer is just downright cool to work for), and
But then again, probably not. I’m really not into unsolicited commercial email, which really is what you sent me (there should be some kinda law about that….). Thanks to you, I am now really turned off by esteemed clients everywhere in Richardson, TX or San Jose, CA.
I guess what I’m really trying to say is “thanks, but no thanks”, Okaya? I hope you are as passionately committed to removing me from your mailing list as I am to adding you to every spam filter I can find.
Even from a recruiters standpoint…that was funny. I guess I should not send you the email for a job I’m recruiting for. 🙂

Here’s my response: Let’s bind up business, take down the bull. Let’s destroy my investments and retirement that I have worked hard to earn and save. Let’s take down the engine of our economy. Let’s make the desire to earn money, to generate wealth, to rise above an act of shame. Let’s elevate inefficiency, mediocrity, and spite of strength to the status of a moral imperative.
I reject this. I reject what it stands for and will do all within my power to fight your false premises. I will work, create, and rise above. I will generate wealth and gain power and influence and not be ashamed.
I will maintain my morals. I will care for the orphans and widows. I will care for the poor and downtrodden in response to my personal moral code. I will fight corruption and theft. I will not corrupt. I will not be stolen from. But I cannot and will not give up that which I have worked for to those that do not work, that do not create, that do not deserve. I will not dumb down my abilities or be less than I can be to balance inequality of income or strength of mind. I will not compromise and I will not be ashamed. I reject this.
