The GR in GR Control refers to Glycaemic Response - which is quite simply in what amount, and how quickly glucose enters your blood stream as a result of consuming a carbohydrate.(That's why you'll often hear celebrity fad diets refer to "no carbs diets").When you consume high glycaemic-response including carbohydrates (refined carbohydrates), your glucose level skyrockets upward.

Your brain, nervous system and muscles need blood glucose for energy. Your body gets most of its glucose for energy. Your body gets most of its glucose from the carbohydrates you eat. It can also manufacture glucose on its own. The total amount of glucose in the blood of a healthy adult at any one time should be about five grams (approx one teaspoon). If you were to consume a single 375ml can of soft drink, which packs about 40grams of sugar, within ten minutes your body would have eight times the amount of glucose expected in a healthy adult!

When too much glucose gets into the blood stream your pancreas receives a signal to produce insulin - a powerful hormone - to remove excess glucose from your blood to and normalise your blood levels. When your body removes excess glucose it converts it into fat. Due to the processed modern diet we have several of these Glycaemic Response reactions throughout the day and this puts us on the Glycaemic Rollercoaster. (That's why you often feel worse or better at different times of the day).

A secondary effect of the Glycaemic Rollercoaster is the Insulin Trap. The Insulin Trap is when the fat burning doors of your body close/ and the fat storage doors open and this is when you start to put on weight.

The GR2 Control Weight-loss program takes your off the Glycaemic Rollercoaster, out of the Insulin Trap and helps you lose weight. With the GR2 Control weight management Program you can teach your body to eat in such a way that your energy requirements are met without falling prey to the glycemic rollercoaster effect and insulin trap. This program is also tailored with an exercise program to maximise your results.
