Glucofast Review

Glucofast: Resisting Insulin Resistance?

Glucofast is a natural formula that aims at reducing weight and increasing energy by battling the common disorders of insulin resistance and metabolic imbalance/ syndrome. The pills are said to be free of any stimulants, steroids or chemical compounds often used in other weight-loss medications.

That’s what manufacturer has to say!

The main way Glucofast works is by helping the body decrease the amount of insulin that is being produced and stored as fat. Insulin is medical speak for blood sugar, and is an important factor in weight loss for people battling the disorder. When the human body suffers from insulin resistance it does not detect the real amount of sugar being consumed and keeps demanding more and more. This results in cravings for simple carbohydrates ensuing in an increased insulin level. Extra insulin is thus constantly being produced, but since the body is not sensitive to this, it is stored in the form of fat, instead of being converted into energy.

Glucofast, with a number of blood sugar moderating ingredients, aims at helping the body achieve normal sensitivity levels to insulin so that the insulin being produced is used as energy, while a minimum amount is stored as fat. It is important to understand that insulin resistance is not the only factor involved in weight gain, which is why Glucofast only tends to work for a few people. The product does not cut down on the insulin that is produced, but in fact only improves the body’s sensitivity to it. This means that it is not possible to lose weight unless you make an effort and cut down on foods that produce too much insulin in the first place.

The ingredients used in the formula include L Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Guggul, Vanadyl, Gymnema Sylvestre, Licorice, Juniper Berries and Cayenne Pepper which are all natural products that contribute to a healthy lifestyle, even when taken separately. The only grey area is that since the actual quantity of each ingredient used is not mentioned, it’s difficult to understand which component is actually at work, and which just has a negligible amount included to raise the product’s credibility.

Glucofast needs to be taken about half an hour before meals, usually twice a day. Even though buying the pills doesn’t require a prescription, it’s best to consult your doctor before starting a course to ensure you aren’t allergic to any of the ingredients. There haven’t been any reports of harmful side-effects, and the product seems to have side-stepped negativity often associated with stimulants used in OTC weight loss products.

According to Glucofast’s website, results are usually seen within a few weeks, and major changes can be enjoyed within two to three months of starting the course. Even though Glucofast’s creators promise significant weight loss, there is no extensive scientific research that their claims are based on. This decreases the product’s credibility significantly and makes one wonder if it’s even worth a try.

The website also fails to mention the importance of exercise and a good diet – without which no pills will ever work – and without which a healthy lifestyle cannot be maintained. It is also important to take responsibility for being over-weight instead of believing statements that tell you, “It’s not your fault.”

So, my final conclusion is you can really afford to give a miss to this pill… you won’t regret it
