A stressed pancreas from refined sugar,low thyroid function antagonized by chlorine and an overworked adrenal gland fuel pump from too many activities and personal stress, creates an imbalance resulting in refined sugar cravings.Refined food depletes cortisol,a hormone from the adrenal gland which is required to shut off insulin when protein is low in the diet .when insulin stays elevated , the extra carbs are converted  into  fat ,around the belly in males, buttocks hips & thighs , in females.Overtime, with a breakdown of adrenal and pancreas function,exhaustion occurs.Once exhausted the body no longer burns carbs effectively and therefore cannot provide fuel for your body.Your body then, begins to rob muscle off nutrients.Your arm muscle mass  begins to breakdown first, resulting in skinny arms and legs giving you a humpty dumpty physique.

                                                                    It is best to minimise refined carbs,sweet fruits and focus on proteins which burns slowly.its important to  choose food according to their  glycemic index which means based on how quickly they are broken down in the body.food with high glycemic index are not very  healthy whereas  food that are of  low  or optimal glycemic index maintains your metabolism well. note that not everyone can be on a moderate to  high protein diet  ,especially if  the  kidneys are compromised.
