Guide to Adrenal Reset Diet Vincent Bronson

A normal adrenal rhythm may be characterized by a surge of cortisol about an hour before you wake up in the morning, which tapers off during the afternoon, and reaches low levels at bedtime. This allows melatonin from the pineal gland to surge and make you sleepy. Cortisol also helps regulate blood sugar. When well controlled, you have energy and stay lean; when poorly controlled you get depressed and gain weight. If you miss a meal, eat too few regulating carbs or too many carbs that spike your blood sugar, your blood sugar my drop suddenly. The adrenal response to this is to release extra cortisol in order to move stores in your muscles and liver into the bloodstream and feed the brain. This extra cortisol can make you feel stressed out or irritable when you are hungry. We can help preserve a healthy cortisol rhythm from the adrenals by modulating the amount of carbohydrates eaten during different times of the day. In addition, if those carbohydrates have a healthy proportion of fiber to fructose, weight loss can be facilitated. The Adrenal Reset Diet was designed to support optimal adrenal gland function, which leads to natural weight loss. It involves adjusting your intake of carbohydrates throughout the day in order to normalize cortisol production. This program is appropriate for dieters experiencing chronic fatigue who have not been successful with low calorie dieting. Restoring adrenal gland activity can result in easier weight loss and an overall improvement in health.
