After several years of researching health and trying to improve my own, I think i have finally found the missing clue to why im so tired, lethargic and lacking in energy all the time (not including the shift work). Syndrome X, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance syndrome, pre-diabetes syndrome, all different names all the same thing.
My mother has type II diabetes melitus which makes me genetically predisposed towards it, but environment is more of a factor. High glycemic foods and sugary foods are the main culprit. I'm still in the middle of Dr Ray Strands book, Releasing fat, which is more about eliminating sugar and foods that your body uses to make glucose, which then lowers the insulin (fat storing hormone) in your bloodstream allowing the glucagon (fat burning hormone) to take over.
He talks about all different diets, why they don't work and how they put your body into fat starvation mode so that when you quit you put weight back on even faster. Its one of the biggest revelation books i've come across amongst all the books i've seen. Apparently alot of the worlds obesity problems come down to this underlying problem of insulin resistance, suffered unknowingly by 25% of the population in america.
